think like the deer ....be the deer..... kind of ..... deer are random animals they will be where they will be ...... they do have favorite foods tho and do like the sun. study all the topos ad aerials you can pick out spots that look like potential hotspots and hit them to find nothing ....so try a different time of day even if there is old sign it means they have been there keep hitting it and gradually widen your area you learn something new each time you have boots on the ground for some of us it was years before the first one hit the ground . if you can free up this weekend come down the pureoras

Defitnely keen to go but have a birthday this weekend but would be keen another time. Cheers
