Here is my testimony of how well your D.I.E. System worked for me again in 2013.
My Set-Up Day this year for Wisconsin's archery season was on Friday November 1, 2013. I then followed your instructions and waited the 2 -1/2 day period. My D.I.E. Scrape was slightly upwind and crosswind of an intersection of two buck trails. It was West of the buck trail and about 2 yards off of the trail. The D.I.E. Scrape was set up 100% as directed in your book. I was in a tree stand approximately 13 yards Northeast of the scrape, facing Southwest.
On Set-Up Day the wind was from the Northwest, however on the first day of my hunt (Monday November 4, 2014) the wind had switched so it came from the Southeast. Because of what you told me about not worrying about the wind direction, I was not too worried about the switch. I came in from the East and then the Southeast 'walking like a deer' and dragging the doe scent that you recommended in your book.
I got to my stand at 7:57 am after doing completing the tasks that all D.I.E. Hunters have to complete on Day 1 for a successful hunt. By 8:00 am I was all settled in. In my heart I expected to have to sit at least 3 days, maybe more. Don't get me wrong, I was prepared to sit all 4 days if that's what it takes. And what's more, I was downwind and slightly crosswind of Core Doe Bedding Area #2, so I knew I was upwind of some awesome breeding areas.
I saw no deer until 9:05 am, when I noticed a lone buck working his way through some fairly heavy cover upwind of me, but downwind of my entry trail. I had entered on a doe trail part of the way, and he was making his way to me, staying downwind of my scent trail in heavier cover. As he got closer I soon saw that this was definitely "THE KING". But just to make sure I allowed him to get within 11 yards of the D.I.E. Scrape and 10 yards from me. He was quartering towards me at 10.5 yards when my Muzzy Broadhead Stopped his advance. He then ran 70 yards and stopped. I grunted hard at him to keep him from going too far. He turned and looked back and I believe I was the last thing he saw. He was still staring at me when he simply fell over right there.
It still is hard for me to grasp that with the DOMINANCE IS EVERYTHING Deer Hunting System also known as the D.I.E. System, taught to me by Bob J. Mercier, that I am able to totally fool all the deer in the herd.
I use all the things I've learned throughout my D.I.E. HUNTS, at the seminars I attended and while on a Private Lesson with Bob J. Mercier, every time I go into the woods. I love being invisible (to deer) in early season and arrowing does in their bedding areas, while on foot in the middle of the day, and every time I approach from upwind of the bedded deer.
I love being able to find the pecking order bucks in hard antler periods, in daylight hours during the 'lull period' of early October when other deer hunters aren't seeing any mature bucks. I love the D.I.E. System, and all the GREAT HUNTS I am having since Bob taught me all this stuff!
Thank You Bob!
By the way...My buck was a 4.5 year old basic 10-pointer with a total of 12 scorable points and 5.5" bases, an 18.5" inside spread, and a green score of around 140". He was not a Monster Buck, but believe me when I say that I have access to herds with Monster Bucks, and who knows what my testimony will be for 2014?

Due to his beliefs (being Amish) he does not have any photographs of this buck's rack for me to post on his behalf.
A. Yoder is the first Amish man in America to learn the DOMINANCE IS EVERYTHING Deer Hunting System by attending a D.I.E. HUNTER TRAINING SEMINAR. He did so by inviting Bob (me) to his hometown, and by gathering 20 people (both Amish and English) men, in one place where I could go to teach them, at their convenience. Other Amish men have used the D.I.E. System successfully, in OHIO, MISSOURI, and in Wisconsin, but I do not have any other written testimonials from any of them at this time.
If you want me to train you on your hunting land or in a meeting place in your city, please call me at (262) 719-2743 I do not guarantee anyone training. You have to ask for it, and I will do all I can for you.
