I manipulated the stand to be able to see my mineral block and the worn deer trail. With the branches trimmed for a clear path, I climbed down. Next, I took the rake and headed to the overgrown thicket and began to tear up the ground. This was how deer marked their territory and I had created a mock scrape in

There is no better place to be on a below freezing January day than out in the timber somewhere hunting ducks.

The place that I always go hunting at is way out in the country, miles away from city limits. There are no streetlights or sounds of cars passing by.

to get to a late-night soccer game, a family of deer enjoying a morning stroll across the road was ruined. They must have been attracted to my new CD that I burned the night before. Young ones, just following their parents, were most interested in the downfall of my saturday night. Checking my rearview mirror to see truck tailgating me, I put my faith in the deer 's legs to move a little bit quicker.
