re: Early Season Deer Hunting

Another thing to take advantage of this early in the season is that bucks tend to be a little more predictable with their feeding patterns. Try and set up on a trail somewhere between where you think he is bedding and the food source. A lot of times, more mature bucks will slowly make their way to feed just before dark or make their way back before it gets light enough to shoot, so setting up in between gives you a better chance than hunting directly over the main food source.

Then what everyone else said, hunt the right wind. This is something we've been trying to really focus on this season with our setups.

Best of luck, OP!
