I unexpectedly am getting a chance to hunt this Saturday. I'll be in Huntsville so I'll get a chance to go out on Wheeler. I have a spot I hunted a few years ago out there where I saw deer, but never got a shot. If you only had one day to hunt, would you "blindly" set up in that spot and then spend the mid-day scouting a potentially better spot for the afternoon? I figure the other option is to wait till it's light out and quickly scout a spot.
Just un-decided on what would be best. I'll be happy and blessed just to be in a tree, but also I like shooting deer with sharp sticks.

What about Skyline? Even though I haven't been there in 3 years, I can make you a map of a place where you should at least see a doe.

I would plan on hunting the same spot where you saw deer and if you haven’t seen anything by 9, get down and find some fresh sign.

I would go in after it’s light for about 30 minutes and walk a hundred yards, stop, and listen for acorns dropping. Find deer sign under one of them and then sit the rest of the day. ^^^^^

Ride the road slowly while looking for road crossings. Park 50 yards away, follow the trail in for 50 yards and go up a tree 20 yards down wind from the trail.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.
