1/2 acre food plot that had no rhyme or reason to be any better than anywhere else; in fact, it was closer to the public road than any other plot we had (less than 50 yards). It was just a buck magnet for some reason. Opening week of bow season you could count on having a chance at a mature buck...and it held it's share of bucks off and on all season long.
Ya'll are just overthinking it now

I've got a spot in georgia that is a road bed in the middle of a head high clear cut that was never replanted. The road makes an L shape, and I sit in the bend of it. Most of the deer on the property bed in that clear cut on a hillside. All the food plots and acorns that they can get to without crossing a paved road are across that road bed from where they bed. When I first found that spot, I set a chair right in the bend of it. You can see 250yds one way and about 200 the other. The first two days I hunted it, I killed a 9pt, a doe, and shot a 10 or 12 pt that dropped then got up and disappeared. I told my uncle to hunt it that next day and he killed an 8pt. The next afternoon I had to work, and I told my stepdad to hunt it and he killed another 8pt. Unfortunately, we changed leases, but we probably killed 15 good bucks out of that chair in 3 years.

The other members got a little pissed and actually changed the rules so that no one could have a "personal" stand anymore. I would routinely see 10-20 deer a sit, while everyone else in the club was having trouble seeing any at all. Of course, I like to hunt thick stuff and they were all content to sit over greenfields In wide open pines, nowhere near bedding areas

I have a spot directly across the street from our clubhouse that is my sweet spot.I have killed alot of deer out of one tree over there.I have climbed that pine so many times that it has turned white from the sap.What is cool to watch is when the other guys at camp crank up trucks and atv's in the morning.I can sit and watch them leave from my stand.Within about 15-20 minutes after they leave the deer start filtering up from out of the bottom to cross the road.They cross about 150 yards from our clubhouse to bed down behind the cabin.They know exactly when it is safe to cross and wont come up through there until everything quietens down.I have killed a slough of deer funnelling up that holler over the years and watched many many more that I never shot.I saw them so often that I actually got to the point that I started recognizing alot of them.
Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation,whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life;of whom shall I be afraid?

The first time I hunted in Camden Arkansas we hunted an 800 acre farm owned by a guy named Robert and his family. The first two days of gun season, Robert killed two very nice 8 pointers, so he was tagged out. The third day, his cousin Fred, who is from Trussville, AL, shot a MONSTER 8 pointer with chocolate colored antlers from the same ladder stand as Robert. The fourth day of gun season, Fred let me sit in the same ladder stand and I shot a beautiful 10 pointer. The stand overlooked a dry creek bed that was a natural funnel for bucks chasing hot does. All four bucks were chasing does, as the AR rut was going full blast. Went back the next year and it was 75+ degrees and the deer stayed bedded in thickets all day- virtually no deer sighted by a party of six hunters over a five day heat wave.

I had one in my last club. It was the intersection of a gas line and power line with a creek crossing the two. The "other side" of the intersection was a private 2,000 acres that nobody had permission to hunt legally. Come rut it was always on at that stand.
I killed 5 bucks off of it in three seasons and my buddy who hunts with me killed 4
