I need a 'pinion

[Travis]

*opinion for the PC

Stand is about 18ft off the ground, strapped to a large sweet gum tree, fairly thick brush behind us, with a 30x40 yard clearing where we put out corn for the deer. I have a buck come in EVERYTIME we are there from behind us. Okay, now for the problem.
1. he comes in about  15 yards behind us, " Snort, Snort, stamp, stamp," for about 10 minutes, and takes off running.  I use scent killer, along with the doe estrus wicks i have hanging around.
What can i do to get him in the clearing?
I can clarify if needed

He knows where the stand is apparently I'd set a climber 20 yards off the trail 50-60 yards back from the way he comes in. I'm surprised he keeps coming that way if he has busted ya more than once

[Travis]

It has surprised me too.
Thats what i was thinking too, my brother got some pictures on his trail cam of 3 8's and a BARELY legal 10.

I agree with Whack.......step off to the side of where he comes in and give him a sharp surprise!



By the way...... have you ever tried to run a lag bolt into one of those sweet gums?? They are hard as a rock!!

[Travis]

No I haven't, actually, on our 200 acre place, we have about 3 sweet gums and 536432674627024324 billion pines
Me and my dad are going in the morning, hopefully i'll have pictures tomorrow too!

Pictures are good!

Definitely sounds like the deer have your stand pegged. If there is any way to set up another stand in a spot overlooking your old stand, that's what I would do as the deer are likely going to go around your old stand to get where they are going.
