1. Funnels / Pinch points - almost exclusively my determining factor in the rut.
2. Cover - Both for the deer and myself (a good tree or blow down) I see bucks (particularly big ones 10 fold more in thick cover.
3. Physical sign - don't pay much attention to it unless its a rub the size of my thigh or scrape the size of a Volkswagen.
4. Food on either side of my funnel is a good thing (better yet a bedding area).
5. Trail cam photos - they are nice but fairly useless in my opinion.
I have one that tops these all and is my first and foremost criteria when determining where i set up - PREVAILING WIND DIRECTION.
Here's the best question to ask about Obamacare.....How come all the elected officials who voted this into law also exempted themselves and their families from being forced onto it??
That tells you all you need to know.
Taxes and penalties, on people who don't buy insurance and on employers, is how the whole thing was meant to be funded from day one. They know what they're doing. They are DIRTY BASTARDS!! Remember that. They they will do anything to push their agenda and they think you are stupid and that only they know whats best.
They said agent orange was harmless too. Sometimes it's hard to believe the gov't on anything they say.
The workers on the railroads had health problems with defoliants sprayed along the tracks. It's like we will worry when they try to sue, then they tie you up in court till you die. Then 20yrs later will say it was hazardous, too late so don't let the gas drilling companies tell you the chemicals are safe.
Holly crap if a sitting Republican president did this there would be riots in the street from the looney left. Though I find it quite funny and in some sick way a little satisfying that a sitting liberal anti gun prez flooded another country with illegal guns. Every time it comes up in the news I get a grin on my face. And Im sure those two sit around and get eachother off all the time so its nothing new for them with the repeal of dont ask dont tell and all.
