That's a cool video! Thanks for sharing!

Were you expecting them to come bed there, or did you have serious ninja skills and sneak in there haha?

haha, no, I expected the bedding really close by....setup really early and they came in about 60 yards closer to what I thought they would. This is on the little bit of private I have to hunt. What I learned is there is a fence and that fence is the boundary line of safety. Actually a little back from it. Over the years I'd hunt past the fence and one hunt would ruin it. I can get 3-4 hunts out of this setup during rut if I don't cross the fence. There's a thicket 60 yards away in front that I typically see the does bed in. I've killed 3-4 bucks from here over the years and stay out until the peak rut.

Thanks! Yeah this is purely a rut stand on doe bedding. I’ve learned some things around this area over the years but it’s still a luck type stand. You may or may not see a decent buck. I always learn new things. This year I learned why I didn’t see a good one. People were walking around from adjoining property just hiking. I also set my stand for the second year about 30ft high. I found out 15-20 foot wouldn’t cut it as it’s a bottom pasture area below a ridge. As the thermals rise anything there would bust me. Getting higher keeps my thermals out of their reach if the wind calms briefly. I’m going to hunt the ridge next year too.
