    I sat in camp with my rifle about 20' away. Worked like a charm two years running.

    Powerline crosses north end of my property. Plant in rape/collard/clover. Get home at 5:30...walk up driveway at 6:00..sit down and lean up against big pine tree at 6:03....kill deer at 6:15. Like a charm....every year, for four years running. My wife now thinks 'hunting' is easy....but it does fill the freezer!!

    Usually I just run across them when I'm looking for elk or antelope and adversely elk or antelope when looking for deer.

    No bait of any kind allowed in Montana. No trail cameras allowed either. We have ton of deer here though, it isn't exactly tough to shoot them. We can get two a year so with my wife and son we generally get about six deer a year, plus elk if we finish our deer season early enough. We haven't eaten grocery store meat in years. During the late whitetail rut rattling works really well here too. I got a nice heavy 4x4 whitetail rattling two years ago but the biggest buck I have ever shot I just walked in, in the dark and sat down in some long grass and waited until he fed into view as the sun came up. One round with the 45-70 bang flopped him right there. I have pics of it somewhere it is a really nice 5x5 whitetail. The rack is in my shop in a box with a bunch of other racks. After a few years here you lose track of what buck you shot what year. Like I mentioned, shooting deer here isn't exactly rocket science for sure.

    My wife bought more flowers for the front porch so I know they will be back on the porch this year.

    Talking to one of the neighbor ladies a couple years ago. Around Thanksgiving she tied the husks together on a couple ears of Indian corn and hung it on the front door. She came out one morning and found cobs and husks laying on the porch. Yep, deer tracks in the dust coming up the front steps.

    One thing that works but is not PC is a few beers in my pack. I set up my bowstand , have a beer drop it on ground, climb into the stand drink half of the other one, throw the other half out on trail. They will stop and sniff. Shoot deer. Oh then have the other beer.
