I'm with m4, but I do have a good buddy that knows when and where I go just in case. Plus he is my tracker since I am color blind and can't see blood on the ground. He also helps with the dragging and hanging.

I spray a little scent a way on my outer layer and boots. Then I go to my stand and have a cigarette. So I am not spending a lot of money on scent control. The hunters killed deer before all of that stuff was even around, and still do without it.

that video won't make the news. "HUNTERS SAVE DEER" it make hunters look good and no one wants that. Put a bad shot on one and it makes the local tv news.

I am with met. I am killing this deer as soon as he gives me the chance, but looking at his November 3rd body is he over 3.5 years old? To me he doesn't look like he has a belly or a sway back or the neck that a mature buck would have at this time of the year.
I am also with met on spread not being as important as mass. For example, your deer has a 20" spread and a 4.5" average mass number, and my deer has a 16" spread and a 5.5" mass number. Mine is 4" bigger than yours on score. Width shows a lot more, but mass times 8 adds faster.

For the no show hunts you have to be there by 6, put your name in the trash can, and hope that you are lucky. Last year everyone that came for the no show hunt on the first day got in. If you haven't got your safety training yet get there early and take it with the drawn guys that didn't do theirs early.

John is always on fire. He was on my team last year and I think he killed 10 or 11 deer. I think that it is the message that he presents on all of his videos. God is watching over him and blessing him so that he can touch other people's lives.

Man John I have been keeping up with what you have been doing, and now I can't wait to see the pictures. I am glad that it was a big buck that walked in front of you first.

Keep it up guys and gals. You are making it a little easier that I can't hunt until 20 December.

Thanks John for the great video and the message. I felt like I was in the woods with you, and that really helps a guy that won't be in the U. S. A. until the 19th of December. The Lord blesses us every day and we should all be thankful for it.

I've got one about 40 yards from one of my stands, and I have shot about 10 deer just past it. The guys that hung these old stands knew where the deer were moving.

If you go down the road away from area 39 there is a port-o-let on your left. Park by it and walk straight across the road. About 50 yards in there is a pretty open area. Go across that and find a place to set up. I didn't and watched multiple deer come out of the thicker cover that will be on your left and turn and walk towards area 39. If there hasn't been a lot of rain, the area down by the corner of area 39 seems to have a good amount of shooting.

Sorry, I am in Malaysia and haven't looked at a map and tried not to think about Big Oaks as I do enjoy hunting in there.

Guys that have the safety class line up, check in, and get to go. Non safety class guys go into the garage and will get their safety class, then check in, etc like above. This makes it more of a line of guys going to their areas. If 34 is along the west perimeter road and I road, go to I road and look left about 100 yards in and there is a drainage. Go in on the right side of the drainage there is a pond/lake in front of you. The left side is to thick to shoot so don't go over there.

Sorry Mike I wish that I was back for the hunting. I hope that someone can hook up with you for at least a few hunts. I wish you all the best and hope you kill a big one.
