[QUOTE="UCStandSitter, post: 5517278, member: 22422"] 2 micro plots to concentrate the herd into two key ares that were easily accessed quietly. Multiple step setups around these two areas that gave me flexibility in all wind directions. Hinge cuts on known trails leading into these areas to focus travel. Took out lots of trees around and in the plots to let in more sunlight. Absolute refusal to be on the property when it isnt right. In years past I would hunt when I was able to get out. This year I had to have the time, AND wind/weather had to be right. Adding to this I have let MOST deer walk. To this point in the season I have killed 0. Had great shots on bucks and does I would’ve dropped in year’s past. The last two have been the hardest for me. I am willing to work hard, never been a problem. Patience has never come easy to me though. Several days sitting at home on my hands rather than loading up has driven me (and my wife) insane. All of this is common sense but I’ve never had a place where I was fully in control on calling the shots. Been nice to be able to do things my way and see it pay off. What I still can’t control unfortunately is when the other fellas hunt and what they harvest. Laying the groundwork for the others to be more selective next year as well. They have seen the results this year and are coming around to my way of thinking. If not, I have a wooden bat with a chain and saw blade embedded that might convince them [/QUOTE]
