You do have to pay a little. I scout a good bit and I get in there well before daylight to let things settle. I pay close attention to where they are traveling so I get close shots. I got up this morning and went out in a pouring rain and say for 3 hours. Saw one squirrel and one coyote but no shot. I tried sucking on the back of my hand. That got the yote to look but he didn't come back to investigate. Deer were bedded down.
