Hopefully, it'll bring the bucks in close enough to stick with a bow. No deer sightings this time, but still a good number of tracks heading here and there. The notes and the map are truly the key to a successful seasonal hunt. And keep these notes from season to season, as the deer will likely move in similar patterns from year to year on the same map. The ability to plant corn and wheat is truly innovative feature in hunting sims, but its not a hunting strategy in and of itself.
Careful planting can be a productive draw for the deer, but there are a few things to remember.
You can only plant five handfuls of corn and another five of wheat. Ten handfuls doesn't result in a very big foodplot, so its best to plant them together to increase the effectiveness of the plot. Also, try to carefully plan where you plant. Its been my experience that the planted crops are much more effective at drawing in deer if they are some distance from the pre-existing crop fields. If you plant too close to the existing fields, the deer seem to prefer just to go to the bigger field.
