Sit where the deer go by. If you see them go down hill B and you’re on hill A go sit on hill B. Don’t think because you surprised 2 bucks 50 yards from your stand getting in the hunt is a bust. It ain’t!

Restraint.  With EHD wreaking havoc through my WMU, not just myself, but everyone within shouting distance of each other decided not to hunt/kill ANY deer this year.  I feel that it was the right decision, especially after not seeing a single deer, deer track, or droppings after 5 days of getting out there.  It was extremely disappointing to see the decimation of the herd like that.

Try harder to over come the overbearing temptation to hunt areas so thick that I cant get through or near property lines that I cant cross to recover an animal even though I know its the best area to hunt. Its almost as bad as "wanten waste".
