That's why I cut the property like I did. All the atv's and nature walkers are messing up the hunting and I want a thick place for the deer to duck into and feel secure when they are bumped allways deeming my place as a "sanctuary". Also lots of gun hunters that snipe deer on my lines I want to...

No playsets near where I hunt.

What county are you in?lol

Watched a video in tsi vs fsi and how to properly set up access along property line for treestands. I might of made the mistake of dropping all the trees along the property border to try and thicken the property lines up to keep neighbors from spooking and shooting the deer on my land. Whats...

Whats everyone's thoughts on the need to screen food plots with switchgrass? I'm limited by 3 acres of food and wondering if just simply edge feathering or double girdling trees inside of woods would be enough to create the desired thickness to hold mature deer and does? If I screened with...

How many acres of corn plots would you need to be able to plant for it to make it worth it? Would 2 acres acres of corn plots leaving it in standing corn be enough or would that not be worth it? I'm just finding the cereal rye, oats and clovers are the only food sources the deer like in my...

Thanks. I have a food source west of there about 100yds. Probably will hunt that tommorow night or a stand at the edge of a bedding area. Passed him last year in that spot Thanksgiving week. Favorite time of year to hunt right now. Lots of mature bruisers on their feet
