how does one ever remove 100% of the salt at a mineral lick??
I have heard that it leeches down FEET after baiting the same spot spring to summer for years.

I lease 140 acres that is 40 minutes from the house. It still bothers me that I had to resort to leasing, but it was either that or give it up. I have enjoyed and benefited from hunting public land for over 25 years. However, I just can't handle driving 90 minutes to find two other hunters within 100 yards of my stand. That happened last year on opening morning of firearms season. Don't let it bother you. You do what you have to do. I find it amazing the biggest leasing site in indiana charges $200 to even VIEW the leases a week before the public and most seem to lease before the general public (like me) even see them available. Tells me demand is HIGH and supply is low

the big ones always seem to run into the Impact Area too!
If you get in on the Colonels hunt...then you might score big. loved finding gut piles from the "day before" when the brass and their guests got to hunt! =)
Cool place to hunt. Follow the rules to the T.
Hunt all day and you might get something, or see nothing. I have seen some giants in there.
Great scenery on the south end of post and a privilege to hunt there.

Interesting responses. A field edge could be either the edge of a woods or thicket, or a fence row between fields. When I say "edge", I mean a position right along the edge that allows bow shots to the field or into the woods. Forty yards into the woods would not be an edge set up for me. When hunting a woods like this, I want my scent blowing out into the open field as deer are most likely to be in the woods. And if a deer happens to be traveling in the field along the woods edge, he won't catch my scent till he's right under me. On a fence row, always set up so wind is blowing cross ways to the fence row, not up and down it. On one side deer traveling the fence row can't wind you, and on the other side he won't catch my scent till he's right under me. It often blows over top of them. I love a fence row set up with standing corn and some oak trees on the fence row dropping acorns in early archery season. Great response! Pretty much exactly what I was going to respond with. I definitely agree that I prefer my scent to be blowing into the field. I have really paid attention to keeping my scent out of the woods the past 5 or so seasons and it has made a huge difference in sightings. I try to not ever allow my scent to be blowing into the woods although there are some exceptions. It seems like any time I sit a location where my scent is blowing into the woods my sightings reduce significantly. My favorite stand of all the ones I hunt (and I have about 20 to choose from) is a spot where I have 2 fence rows that come together and form a T. It just so happens that I have a nice mature tree right in the T and that is where my stand is located. So I am surrounded by 3 fields. Some years it is beans in one field and corn in the other 2 and other years it just the opposite. The first year I put a stand in this location I had hay, corn and beans in each field. That was a phenomenal year for deer sightings especially in early season. My fencerow runs between 2 very good deer woods so it is heavily traveled and the deer tend to stay within 30 yds of either side of the fencerow. So almost every deer that passes by is within bow range. My stand is about 80 yds south of the bigger woods and I do not sit that stand if there is any chance my scent would be blowing into the woods. I absolutely love fencerow hunting! you guys nailed it! I like to walk across the open field about 3-4 hours before sundown with a solid wind right in my face...setup on that edge.

I will hunt tight to the bedding with the wind at my back. They enter the field from behind me. If you setup right, you still let the bucks have an advantages wind and you can see them in the field. Shoot before they get direct down wind of your position or the game is over.

I'd like to see Indiana adopt the purple paint laws like several other states do. Would be much easier to mark property lines vs maintaining signs. I would support that

...... -Record your time there. This sounds dumb but it is so worth it, if possible record the entire time. While it will not prove without a doubt you committed nothing wrong, it will go greatly towards painting an image of you that will only do good if an ICO, police or judge get involved. ........ video record?? Man, that seems like over kill to me. If you were going into a potentially hostile situation maybe but every minute?? Takes a lot of the fun out of IMO. This is a hobby after all.........
