[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5129028, member: 1409"] I think is more a mindset than a physical issue,[I] IF[/I] you have a [I]COMFORTABLE [/I]seat. As to why you weren't getting more mid-day older buck movement in times past, I suspect it has much to do with camera placements and just how & where those mid-day jaunts occur. Also, I mainly see this just during about a 30-day period that constitutes most of the rut. But then, that's mainly the only time I stay on stand all day as well. Also, these mid-day jaunts often involve the bucks moving pretty fast, like fast trotting, scent check a scape from 50 yds downwind, stop, trot, stop, trot, stop, trot, appearing to stay downwind from where they might encounter bedded females. They would often be out of triggering range of most our cam placements, and then often missed due to slow trigger speeds and/or their moving fast. I have frequently correlated this sudden movement (bedded bucks jump up and start almost frantically looking for a hot doe) with the wind picking up and rattling the leaves (often mid-morning to mid-day). This is one reason I like to have a few young beech trees scattered around, as when those beech tree leaves start "rattling", actually sounding much like walking deer, you better be on high alert. I even wonder if the bedded bucks may often confuse rattling beech leaves with deer walking, so they jump up to go see. Similar is often observed mid-day by simply peeing off a stand from high in a tree, with the urine hitting loudly on dry leaves below. Both bedded does & bucks that hear it will often jump off their beds and run right to you. [/QUOTE]
