Hey, don't blame the weed, it mellows most people out and keeps them from fighting :P

Also dumb as a post!!

Depends on the person, some very brilliant people smoke weed and lots of it.

Lol let’s get back on track here.

Mike pal.

I didn’t consider that being this deep in the bush now will allow me all day movement as opposed to just dawn and dusk. Hopefully it stays the same way into oct-nov

Yes I do thanks

Sure HaHa..you keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel good, the rest of the hunting world knows better...

Ah yes,and of course by “the rest of the hunting world” I will presume you mean yourself and your getalong gang clique of bolt flinging,corn can rattling,apple sack lugging Master baiters,yes?
Surely you jest PAL?You can’t seriously believe that applying a good tarsal masking scent to my pant legs en route to stand or misting deer piss in the wind when rattling is the equivalent of lugging bushels of apples and corn to a stand location for months prior to the season.....gimme a break rookie.

Sure does! Deer begin to move towards feeding areas, staging in cover until almost dark for obvious reasons. Setting up well back from field edges on good runs has produced lots of deer over the years.
Closer to the rut, bucks pretty much roam all day.

Sorry for the the hijacking of your thread Mark.......lead astray by a troll

When at camp , we head back to camp for lunch after the morning run with the dogs. A lot of guys take the opportunity to take a nap, I head back out about 1:00. The bucks are moving mid day and I have shot many and had them back at the camp and up on the pole before the guys have even left camp for the evening hunt.

Same during the ML and late bow season in Dec...usually back at the barn before the sunsets.

Your set up looks perfect for that kind of scenario...wish you luck !!

Here’s the set up. Hardwoods to the left, then swamp and bedding to my right. I’ve seen rubs coming from hardwoods straight to swamp. Always facing same direction. Rubs are always made from hardwoods to swamp. I have 60-70 videos of bucks and does since June 1 until last weekend.

Looks like a great early morning stand if you can slip in undetected on a N/NE wind and catch him using that rubline on his way to bed.

I walk in from the main road, have a pre cut trail to the base of the stand. All the action I’m expecting is from directly in front, my 11 o’clock position and my 1-2 o’clock.
