Answer 1

Just get out there right before sunrise. Put a deer feeder or just some feed....Then spray some Scent Cover so they dont smell ya. Next, get a few calls. Like Grunt, Fawn in distress, Bleat, etc.

Also if you want a buck get some Doe-In-Estrus...... he he he.

Answer 2

fawn in distress will definetly work for does and young bucks.

ive seen the big bucks(150 class) right before dark in the corner of the feild

Answer 3

Hunttherut is right. Get a scope with illuminated crosshairs, or the smaller red dot non-magnifying optics. A large front lens gathers light much better than a tiny human eye's iris, and you can practically see into shadows! The nocturnal habits of feeding deer make twilight hunting the most productive time. This is accentuated by the time of the New Moon, as they can't feed well in utter darkness, and tend to go nuts at twilight getting the job done in a hurry, not as wary as usual. Regards, Larry.

You could come and stake out my rose bushes! The little b******s walk up in the middle of the day and strip off every bud.

Seriously though, apples are just starting to be ready for them if you are lucky enough to have one close by.
