That would be cool.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

The best thing you could do in terms of wealth of knowledge would be contact Dan for the second BBO video hill country. There are so many goodies in there its unreal, that bit on the thermal tunnel is taking away a lot of buck secrets each year!! I dont care for the other guys on the video but Dan gives a wealth of knowledge and its in terms even I can understand and relate to unlike most tutorials on hunting. Its a bargain at any price.

Well the same principles apply. You want to get in to the spot where the deer cannot see you or smell you. You have to scout to locate the bed, then from that bed determine what you can see. You also need to have a good understanding of where that buck intends to go when he leaves that bed. The deer will be using his vision to watch the valley below, and his nose to "watch" the hill top above him. From what I have seen on the dvd, Dan tries to set up at or close to the same elevation as the buck, slightly up wind of the bucks bed. That is if the buck will be leaving the bed to head to the top. If he is heading down the hill, then Dan sets up at a lower elevation but again thinking about what the buck can see and what the thermals are doing. Sometimes he doesn't set up till the thermals reverse and start to fall. In all cases he is ensuring the buck cannot see/smell his approach or stand location. I would think in most hill country, there is not much cover down the hill side. I would think the best method would be to approach from up top out of the bucks smell zone and slip down to his elevation and set up. Again I think every bed has different variables, but that is what I picked up from the dvd. I have yet to put it to use, as I hunt relatively flat ground.
Hopefully Dan or Autumn Ninja will chime in on this.

Great informative.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.
