I rotate all the "hot spots" about every 3/4 weeks wind depending on the wind, this being a hay meadow then at some point like with the crops these small deer will be like the wherethefcukarethey tribe!
But for now I will keep chipping away at them, 2 pheasant's took off in the distance as I stood by the gate then good money it's a fox!
Still trialing the very good @takbok 3D printed quad stick heads I was over the gate, loaded and off!
Into the wind was perfect then 2 hares whizzed passed me so it was not far away, the old ditch line is still there be it just a hollow impression in the field which he came along then peeled across in front of me, early doors fox is a good start.
Now the long wait which was nearly an hour with a bite to the Nth E wind, a hot shape came out of cover so off I trott using the planted trees as cover then lock onto what was a young doe, now do I flip the coin as it is rare to see a young doe alone yes duck it I will wait, she drifts back into the cover and I go back to my stand. Tick tock deer o'clock is 20 mins away bingo she is back with her friend, quite dark also the right wind I got quite close 25 yds! Shot the buck first as he was downwind of the doe with her looking back moving a couple of yards and over she went.
Bit of a gamble but it paid off.
