I have an opportunity to hunt for some meat for a recently widowed and disabled aunt. She needs the meat. Her landowner does not allow rifles, so bow only. Land has 1 pond, a creek (sometimes) and an old wooden tree stand. Partially wooded partial field. This is a meat hunt, not a trophy hunt...I'm gonna drop the first legal food that happens by...my aunt actually prefers doe meat.

What is my best option? Should I start putting out some sort of food or attractant near the stand? Setup a game cam maybe to see if anything is even there anymore? If so, what products do I buy and how to I place them?

I know this is a big question, but any help or advise is appreciated!

Corn is hard to beat for getting deer in close and quickly on feed. Start putting out corn either with a feeder or by hand whenever you can. I would pay attention the winds now since they will be the normal winds for bowseason. I would also look at northwinds and how it will effect the area I am feeding and hunting. If you have a game cam put it up after you see some activity. I would try to bait or feed several spots to start. One by water, one by the old stand and maybe set the camera up in a clearing or on the edge of some open pasture to see what is moving there. You can make some cheap PVC feeders that you can hang or mount to a tree to fill and feed from if they have no cattle or livestock on the place. Search some old threads on here to see how they build them. You might can even get a young pig which will be great eating.
