I was in a club several years back, and we had a guy that always chose to sleep in. He would head out to the woods at 9ish in the morning. He would see, and kill more deer than the rest of us. His philosophy was, while we pattern deer movement, deer pattern our movement. Most of all the hunters were out of the woods by 10 am, he saw most of his deer after 10 am.
If I hunted around a lot of people , I'd use this strategy often.
i don't doult that some of those deer were drove to him .
why i've used hunters to kill deer . a lot of hunters just dont leave as quite as they came in , they leave beating knocking talking banging . old buck let you walk right by on the way in just to get up on your way out and you never see him .
gotta know the land you're hunting though . if i ever have to hunt public land i'd try to hunt escape routes
