    Hi All,

    I have hunted for many years with a rifle, but this is my first year hunting with a crossbow. I've already learned so many differences between the two types of hunting. I've seen this nice fella pretty regularly on my trail cameras, but he seems to only be out at night except the one day photo. We have a good sized group of deer that always have fawns in the area, so I think that may be what he's after. You're not allowed to bait bears in PA, so I'm wondering if there's a way to change his habits and make him more likely to be active during the day. Or do I just have to be lucky?

    Thanks!
