Have you bait out and are there photogenic deer feeding within 15 yards?

No bait, was going to try a few different spots above regular runs I’ve been tracking. Am also going to try photography from a ground blind and see just how close I can get with the scent blocker and nose jammers ect . Just trying new things and enjoying the ride mate

Shown this before but can’t emphasise the use of a rock,log placed on the run it slows everything down and the more mark it the better it gets

In front of the camera I place a rock or log and animals stop to marl it and smell it rather than running straight past gets a better picture you could do the same in front your hide or stand to get a better shot

Dont know if you've tried it but take a piece of burnt long and set it out , especially when it snows, something about charged wood really attract critters

Am up for anything wolfie, just trying to think out the box. Bow hunting is illegal over here so I will just shoot 3d targets from the saddle and just use it for camera work and observing wildlife. But I was surprised at what budget full set ups there are if you look about mate.

Wolfie look at the XOP EDGE MONDO saddle hunting kit . That’s what I bought a complete kit in a box with saddle platform and all the rope age u need . Just need to add climbing sticks to it. It’s not the lightest set up. But I read loads of reviews and watched loads of YouTube videos on it . It was the high safety aspect that was the deal breaker . At 51 years old I ain’t gonna bounce like I used too , so I have no plans of absailing out a tree with no ropes lol. The saddle is a 2 in 1 harness. Means u can connect to the front for saddle use or connect from the back to use in traditional tree stand . Check out the specs and really not that expensive mate .
