What do you think of when you see railroad tracks through a hunting ground. I think of the hole in the horn buck and monsters.
This is a new property I picked up for the '05 season. Its only 52 acres but It is very isolated and In what I like to call the Big Buck area of Fairfield County Ohio. I shot my deer approx 5 miles from this farm, last year. All 3 pictures are taken from standing in one spot. Looking to the left, straight and to the right. The railroad creates a funnel from the sharp bankes and edge lines on its sides. It appears the deer are primarily crossing uder the bridge, wich you can see in the distance. I jumped a 135-140 inch deer scouting Thursday, and he headed for the bridge. I located a tree there ideal for our primary NW wind. Come November its on like donkey kong!
 
The new area you have to hunt looks great.

I would however do some checking with the railroad company that owns that rail line.

I may be wrong but I think railroad companies have strict trespass laws that they aggressively prosecute for hunting along railroad right of ways.

Does anyone know for sure?
 
Railroads are great for setting up funnels, entering your stand, and make for one long shooting lane.

Corey, looks like a great piece of property to hunt. The railroad tracks have no effect on the deer, it's one of those spots that most people would over look. My father-in-law lives on the edge of town in view of a set of railroad tracks. He sees some good buck all the time hanging out on the bank right next to the tracks, especially during the gun season! Good luck!
 
Looks awesome Cory! I would swear it's one of the spots I hunt that ALWAYS holds BIG deer. Best of luck!
 
Blake, I think I've heard something about hunting along railroads also. It would be worth checking out.
 
Im excited to see what it holds, our weather has resally hot this year for velvet bucks. Ive seen only two good bucks this year. I had my trail camera on this farm for 2 week and got 7 pictures, Ive had the same roll going for 4 weeks now. I know , I need to go digital. But It should be full today. Have some bucks to post soon. Thanks for the replys guys.
