[QUOTE="Mike Belt, post: 4468882, member: 69"] I used to hunt a place that had a really steep ridge that drops almost straight vertical into the bottom below. The bucks hung that ridge top and I had a hard time getting to them. They liked to cruise or lay along the edges of that ridge. Going in across the ridge would alert them and they'd either run down the ridge in front of me or drop off the vertical side. They were especially attuned to watching for danger coming from down the ridge. I guess they figured no danger could remotely come close to them from the bottom up the vertical side and if something tried they'd have plenty of time to just ease back down the ridge. I found 2 ways to combat this. The first was going across the ridge super early like 3 hours before they got there. The other was to find a tall tree in the bottom. I mean really tall to where I could climb up 40+ feet. I also looked for any saddle cutting through the top of that ridge towards the bottom. Once I found a tall tree in that position I started getting close to bucks running the top and working through the tops of those saddles after does. [/QUOTE]
