    What are your stand entry options? Wind being a driver to where they will come into water.

    I would have to semi circle and come in from the south and use the terrain. Completely not touch that area until I walk straight up the hill into the spot. Sit maybe 40 yards downwind of the water.

    Tracks tell me they are moving like this....

    Is that a road north of the pond? I assume the blue X is the water source

    Knock and ask for access to park and hunt public, you will be surprised how many will allow parking and access, that has led to permisson on their property from my experiences more time then not.

    @Tony never called once rates went down...

    and then the '05 Gonna work nearly 300k miles decided it wanted a very expensive spa day at the dealer (Alternator, water pump, main belt, mant gaskets and needed a new timing chain)...

    so...

    I'll take delivery of my new ride probably Tues.

    Got the bow back and needed to get it sighted.

    I pretty much about one round around 30 or 40yds now and move back till the group opens up. I'll grind at that spot till it tightens up and move further back.

    I've had an inconsistent cross wind lately so I've been shooting around 50.

    This group from last week was pretty good, but a clipped a nock and a vane.

    I can't believe
    the work crews are tearing this place up so bad. Also a 2nd cam was stolen over 1.5 miles down the path with construction crews tracks all the way up to my stolen camera. Had high hopes I'd catch a glimpse of a giant bc of the tracks near it.
