Camp Ripley time!

[Hungryman]

I need some advice, I know not everyone will get a deer there (11%), but this will be my 7th time going with nothing to show for it. My wife is starting to wonder if I even go there. Any advice? For the most part, I've been in the same area (west central). Should I move? I've seen a few nice deer over the years but never a great oppertunity?

I think of Ripley like playing the lotto with much better odds, you never know when lightning could strike and you score on a big one. I haven't been there in a few years now but if/when I go back I am going to walk through some nasty swamp and park myself where I suspect no one else is willing to go. Then either have someone else push some deer to me or catch a big guy on hit feet just before dark.
