[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5125920, member: 2805"] Have you noticed an increase in sightings at a particular stand once it has been 'rested' for a period of time (at least 3-4 weeks)? Of course there are confounding variables present when comparing different time frames (rut timing, fewer older deer remaining in the herd due to increased harvest over the course of the season, etc), but I have absolutely noticed a dramatic return to near baseline sightings when an area has been rested for 4 weeks. Which is why I now hunt Tn during 1st rut second to third week of November, then leave the property alone until 2nd rut during the 3rd week of December. In fact, we have killed a 4.5y/o or older buck in December each of the past 4 years, with opportunities a couple years before that. [/QUOTE]
