danthehuntinman Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yesterday was our first day here in West Virginia. It was a great morning and a bad afternoon for me. I got to see 3 bucks 3 does and not sure on the one that was across the power line right a way. I passed on a decent 8 point for here had him come 2 yards from my tree stand I was looking through my platform to look at him. I got back in my tree stand around 2 and ended up having a guy ride a 4-wheeler with a mower on it around down below me cutting the logging roads around the property. He rode up 50 yards from me at 6:15 about the time the deer have been moving around where I was set up at but what can you say to the land owner not much I know that. Now there are supposed to cut the power line right a way on Monday and Tuesday it has some decent sized trees in it and a lot of brush. How much do you think this will bother the deer movement in the area and for how long? Here's a couple pics of the buck I passed on yesterday.

WStreblo Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 First day Dan where you at in WV? I'm from Ohio right across the river from Weirton. To answer your power line question... From some of the hunting I've done near and on power lines, seems like a few days after the cutting you will see them browse thru there pretty heavy looking for food or any food they couldn't reach before. Knowing they are going to browse thru there might give you an opportunity to maybe put something out there to slow them down or keep them around. Good chance to get a corn pile with a camera???
