    I got in extremely quiet. I'm 20 yds from the bedding area. If they are locked down with does, I just need one to leak out and feed on these oaks....with a big boy in tow. My theories sound great but in reality they just suck. Hahaha.

    That sounds like a solid game plan.

    All set up. I really wish the wind would blow the direction it was forecasted for. Supposed to be West right now. Instead I have a nice Southeast breeze. Fantastic. I just can't beat the wind down here. Its almost every single hunt that the wind will blow from every direction. Gotta love hunting on a giant peninsula with the Mississippi all around it.

    Good luck this morning Brett. My plan is very similar. I'm hunting a new spot downwind (or supposed to be anyways) if a bedding area. I'm hoping the same thing you are. All it takes is one deer.

    I've got the same idea, about 30 yards downwind right beside some sawtooth oaks....That bastard has to move during the day at sometime....
