Always learning. I guess it really depends on the field situation . The fields I set up on are pretty pressured and also narrow with rises and dips . The dogs won't run in . They run down the hedge rows if they even come out . My only option is to catch emm before they wind me . It is a bit unnerving sitting in the dark making yourself the target . But I've found that even the ones I didn't see and busted me were 75 yards away . He screamed at me and took off. I set up once in a small opening in a hedgerow between 2 fields . Was a nice warmer night . I was calling and a buck sneaked up behind me and snorted down my neck . Talk about getting the blood pumping ! I fell off my chair . My partner was about 15 yards away watching it unravel . And then he couldn't stop laughing . Then he started yelling . Don't shoot ! It's a deer ! Man I wanted to shoot that donkey in the ass ! Lol . Never the less , now I always back myself up against the heavy brush . Now the the snow fell And rifle season is almost over ill be doing day hunts . Set up as you are . Except with a mojo decoy .
You just can't beat the excitement of a night hunt tho .
