FIELD NOTES

Notes From the System

One idea at a time, pulled straight from the five-book series. Calling, cameras, stand setup, scent, and shed hunting — same data-driven approach, broken down piece by piece.

The Call Sequence That's Brought In Hundreds of Deer

The exact tending grunt and estrous bleat sequence, where it came from, and why it's never once sent a deer running.

FROM BOOK ONE — CALLING WHITETAILS

The Trail Camera Height Mistake Costing You Mature Bucks

Why the standard 4.5-5 foot mount gets you busted, and why 6.5-7 feet keeps a camera out of a whitetail's sightline entirely.

FROM BOOK TWO — PATTERNING THE PATTERN

The Stand Placement Mistake That Isn't About the Stand at All

A bulletproof entry and exit on a mediocre stand beats a perfect stand with a bad one, every single time.

FROM BOOK THREE — THE SET UP

Building a Mock Scrape That Actually Turns Into a Community Scrape

Location, licking branch height, scent layering, and the year-round maintenance calendar behind a real community hub.

FROM BOOK FOUR — SCENT AND LURE STRATEGY

Stop Walking Trails — Read the Ground Instead

Why grid discipline beats trail-following, and the structural features that actually knock antlers loose.

FROM BOOK FIVE — SHED HUNTING

All five books, all in one system — one property, read like data.
