Scout the area for deer sign in advance. Check out the Outdoor Life advice on locations close to feed sources and well used trails. The trophy buck will likely be seen about the time you are prepared to give up your stand. He will have been watching that feed area from the bush and may not give you an opportunity until the last bit of legal shooting time. So, being alert and patient are keys to success. Part of successful hunting is belief! You have got to believe that buck is about to step into view at any moment- that keeps you interested and ready. The bonus of paying attention is that you get to see some interesting stuff even if the buck never shows. As you sat quietly, a partridge drummed below your stand, it flew off as a coyote approached, later a porcupine ambled down the trail , a woodpecker hammered away at a nearby tree. Brother, that is the amazing part of hunting.. you can have a memorable season and never pull the trigger.
