I always chuckle when people say "upwind from where you EXPECT to see deer" ... Deer can come from any direction. In the public land / big woods I hunt, this is especially true. Not only that, but the wind swirls around the hills like you wouldn't believe.

I'm unfortunately not blessed with having any farmland type area to hunt huge deer. Just seeing deer where I live seems like luck. Here, one really is FORCED to take their deer hunting game to the next level because of the amound of land involved.

POSITIVE ATTITUDE, POSITIVE ATTITUDE.....
