"I once found a fruit-heavy muscadine grape vine loaded with deer sign growing beside a rural South Carolina school house. Closest woods were behind the building Cody Barton Womens Jersey , some 200 yards away. I walked the woods edge, located two deer trails emerging from the timber and heading to the grapes. I hung a stand between the two trails, 50 yards back in the woods, and arrowed a fat doe the first afternoon. That deer showed up early, simply milling around in the timber D.K. Metcalf Womens Jersey , apparently waiting for sundown before heading across the open to the school house for a grape dinner."

Don't overlook fruit trees in suburban areas L.J. Collier Womens Jersey , advises Tom, because plenty of buster bucks come to backyard apple, plum and peach trees. And in the West, juicy apples are high on the menu of mule deer and whitetails.
One of the easiest and quickest ways to locate fruit trees for hunting is to look for them in spring, when the trees flower. This often coincides with spring gobbler season Michael Dickson Womens Jersey , so if you're chasing toms, keep a sharp eye out for wild fruit trees in bloom.

"Make sure you have a quality topographical map with you when locating fruit trees in spring," Tom says. "After trees lose their blossoms and return to their green-leaf state, they blend right in with habitat and can be a challenge to find unless you've recorded their location on a map, or used a portable GPS navigation unit to pinpoint them. Sometimes a number of trees will be in a wide area Chris Carson Womens Jersey , so don't be completely satisfied and set your stand if you discover just one tree dropping fruit. Often, another tree or two just 50 or 100 yards away will have even more deer sign.
"Deer often have decided preferences for one grape vine or a particular apple tree--just like they do for acorns from a special oak tree. Only reason I can think this occurs is because fruit from a preferred tree simply tastes better to game. You can 'sweeten' such trees and grapevines easily by adding fertilizer to plants. A bag of 10-10-10 fertilizer, Scotts 'Tree Tablets' or 'Native Plant' fertilizer will not only strengthen chosen fruit trees, but they'll bear more fruit, and game will go nuts over them."

Put your readers first. Give them what they want and they'll be queuing up to read anything you produce.
A blueprint for writing articles that captivate your readers - whatever the topic - is a follows:
== 1. What Do Your Readers Want ==
You may know what they want because you're an expert in the field. If you don't know the subject well, you'll have to research. Look for forums on your topic and see what people are discussing. What are the problems? Can you provide an answer?
== 2. Start With An Attention-Grabber ==
Work on your opening. Try to avoid trite questions like "Have you wondered why people find it difficult to lose weight?" It's dull and it's not targeting the person reading the article - what do they care about the difficulties "people" have losing weight? They care about THEIR weight problem!
The opening paragraph should give the reader that warm "Hey, this is about me!" feeling. - "This could be the answer I've been looking for..."
Example: "Diet gurus make it all sound easy: to lose weight Cheap Ugo Amadi Jersey , all you have to do is expend more energy than you take in. Huh!

== 4. End On A High ==
Most articles fizzle out! Writers often don't know how to end on an upbeat note. They either stop dead or come up with a trite ending like: "So what are you waiting for? Get started today!"
