The best advice I can give is if you get into a bad situation....run faster than your brother!! [hihi]

Good luck hope to see some pics when you get back. Be safe.

[up]Extended family up there uses that trick.

cook up some bacon and save the grease in a can....get to your hunting spot and use a small sterno stove to boil the grease....the scent will carry for a hell of a long way....good luck

Yeah, clear out around the sterno so you don't start a forest fire.[hihi]

vanilla extract or oil of anise ,smells like licorice put out in front of you and dont get any on you or [down],used that trick quite a bit up there (white river junction,sharon vt) and works very well,i also tried it like a drag rag and had good results that way also,good luck

if there coming to the food plot pretty regular... i wouldnt do a thing but get in a stand over the trail there using... maybe bring a diaphram with ya to squeek one over if he's too far.

I dont think the bug will be too bad by the way.
