BUCK FAMA

Baiting is illegal here in Mississippi... I hunt deer based on their feeding habits during the early season (acorns), and then switch to hunting the edge of their bedding areas once the rut (breeding season) starts.. A lot of the mature bucks will wait till the rut starts before they even CONSIDER moving before daylight.. Gotta always take into account the wind as Matt previously stated...
I have killed several deer with a bow myself... And it is more enjoyable taking does with a bow than it is a rifle.. That is why i have not killed a doe with a rifle this year.. And I splurged and bought my expensive scope simply b/c we hunt many areas with antler restrictions.. When that buck comes out right at dark I need to be able to tell exactly how big he is.. Could I set my stands up to hunt where I could kill deer at 40 yards with a shotgun w/o a scope using buckshot?? Yes I could...
