[QUOTE="Mike Belt, post: 4634483, member: 69"] Agreed with walking the edges of the field. You'll find the heaviest used entry/exit routes that way. Also by walking the timber surrounding those fields you may find rubs indicating holding positions for those bucks before entering the fields although those locations may prove better hunting later into the season than archery opener. The only problem with doing that is many times the bucks feeding in those fields right now may be bedding within close quarters of them. As a general rule the bucks may not enter the fields the same spots as the does so sometimes hunting the heaviest used trails may not put you within shooting distance of where the bucks do enter. I prefer to hunt with the wind blowing into the field if I think I may be hunting on the same side of the field they're entering on and just the opposite if I'm hunting on the other side of the field. That's usually decided based on the layout and size of the field as well as the sign. Just make sure your set up is at a point where your shot may happen before they get downstream of your scent trail. Your bucks, and particularly the bigger, older bucks probably won't show up until the last 15 minutes or so of shooting light. [/QUOTE]
