Just because we have a lot of deer, don't assume you will see them. Along the area you will be in the season opens either August 15 or September 1, deer hear a lot of gun shots during that time. Bucks get smart in no time flat and tend to become nocturnal unless the rut is in full swing.
All of them will pinpoint fixed stands and contrary to what you may hear, they will look up and stare you down. Cover is thick where it exists and shots on Ag and PROW will be long. In cover you won't usually see a whole deer, just parts but in a fixed stand they'll pick you out at 200yds. They know those stands.
Yeah, we hunt over feeders but you won't see the bigger deer come into them in broad daylight unless you get lucky. Plenty of trail cam pics of them there at 2:00am to daylight though.
Oh and to add to the Thermacell, a Bug Tamer is a great thing to have too. Sometimes the skeeters just get high on the Thermacell and then dig in. And before November, I'd have a pair of snakeboots on my feet.
PM if you have more questions, be glad to help. Good luck on the swamp donkeys.
