[QUOTE="45-70power, post: 5812023, member: 21069"] I learned that deer are patterning us while we're patterning them. For proof, just Thursday evening I killed beautiful 9 point, everyone said was nocturnal. All the surrounding neighbors only had night pics as well. By moving cameras around I learned this deer was coming within 40 yards of the back porch scent checking stands I had on the hill, so I hung a stand on power pole 30yards from the porch. With all night pics being around 730 to 1030 pm, I started riding my four wheeler through the woods every night between those hours, checking cameras at night as well. He started coming through only in daylight, associating night as fourwheeler danger. Then I sat in the closest stand, so he couldn't get behind me to wind me, and killed him the first evening sit in that stand. He patterned me so I broke the pattern, to break him. Always assume they're patterning you, mature bucks are not just dumb animals, he was aged around 7 by taxidermist. [/QUOTE]
