gobblerroller Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Our family owns a 50 acre tract of land in Ware County that has just been cut. 16 acres cleared on the hill and 34 of young pines that have been thinned on both sides of the hill. The little pines have a creek running through them. The deer used to cross the hill to get from one bedding area to the other. Should I hunt oaks that are at the back of the property next to the clearcut, or hunt in the creek in the thinned pines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DropTine49 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Sounds similar to a 60 acre tract I have permission to hunt. Most of the deer killed on the property were killed in or near the small section of hardwoods that were left on the backside of the property!

gobblerroller Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Sounds good to me! I'm going to climb in the back corner of the property where the hardwoods/creekbottom meet with the planted pines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Hunt inside "Edge" of the thick woods, the deer will skirt the clearcut about 30 yards inside the thicker cover, but be sure you can cover the cutover area in case something gets pushed across from the adjoining land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
