I knew the donuts comment was coming from FFJ. Go figure!
I am a bow hunter and I am the total opposite. I scout my area out ahead of time and find out the deers normal movement patterns and then I put my deer stand in the ideal spot where they will walk. If someone disturbs there patterns then I get pretty upset. Hunting from a deer stand is a lot different then hunting with a gun. You have to get a deer within 30 yards of your deer stand to be able to shoot at it. Also the deer has to be unaware that your there because if it is the slightest bit aware something is different it will be on edge and it is fast enough to be able to dodge an arrow. Unlike a person hunting with a gun, they can shoot a deer on the run or over 200 hundred yards out in some cases.
