Intresting data.
When it comes to wind direction, Ill adjust when i get to my stand early in the morning. If im hunting a particular trail, then ill position myself on the down wind side of the trail or funnel im hunting. Even doing this doesnt always work. It seems when those winds roll over the top of these ridges it creates a vaccum and rolls back towards the ridge in the direction the prevailing wind is blowing. Somestimes its a real nightmare. My policy is to stay out of the bottom of the hollows...Its either the Top of the ridge or the first bench down that i will hunt.

Also..I think using lure scents gets alot of hunters in trouble..why? well, in order for their lure scent to do its job the buck must be downwind..if he's smelling your lure scent then he's smelling your body scent. Seems its a contradiction to me.

Also, I've secured permission for 2 hunters in our group to hunt a piece of private ground within a few miles of the camp that is absolutely loaded with deer and the land owner wants them gone. They’ll also be a special guest stop by the evening of Saturday the 20th to a have beverage or 2 with us around the campfire...bring plenty of arrows!

That is a hell of a thing to do Mike. I for one, appreciate you going through that effort for the sake of a couple of TOOzers. There are some great guys here deserving of the chance to hunt some prime SE Ohio ground...

This is going to be a hell of a fun weekend! Love the comoraderie of deer camp.

Asked my mom tonight to plan on coming into town that weekend to give Alyssa a hand with the kids.

I'm pretty sure I was reading a book this summer with you in it, and you was explaining how you force deer to walk a certain area by taking string (I think?) and tying across a certain area or trails in order to funnel deer past a particular trail by your treestand??

It's been a long time since I've seen that book but I'm pretty sure if you re-read it, I mention making "fences to nowhere" at a 45 degree angle. I do the same thing with a chain saw and scrub trees. By placing the obstruction at an angle, you're just "suggesting" the deer walk in a certain direction. If you make the obstruction perpendicular or try to "force" them to do something, they're just as likely to go through it as around it. Canine trappers use this same principle. If you force a fox to step here...he wont.

Also, I really enjoyed the mugshot in that book, made me laugh.

Please consider that that book was written long before your time. Even the cool kids wore mulletts back then...

No...I gave them to the guy who stole Peewee Herman's bike.

Well at least you have a good sense of humor about it! Honestly, I never saw it until Brock mentioned it!!! That was as cool as it got in 1984!!!
