buckee Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Good one Jim. It works the same for fencelines too. Just walk an old fenceline and where-ever the fence is down, there will be a good crossing area there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIGHTPOINT Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Re: Tip of The Week Just to add something along this line, If you don't have a natural low spot in a fence line, you can make one by tieing the top two strands together and ultimately the deer will jump the fence at this low point. Of course you need to get the landowners permission and be sure that any live stock in the area that is fenced will not jump it also. Be sure that you untie the fence at the end of the season.

buckee Posted December 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Re: Tip of The Week Right on EIGHTPOINT .... That is one of my favourite methods of creating a deer trail. It works every time. These blacktails would rather go through a fence than jump over it, except for the big bucks, so I tie the top to barbed wire strands together and the bottom two together (there's ussually 4 strands). It makes a perfect opening for the does and fawns to use and the bucks will cross there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born4it Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Re: Tip of The Week Very nice idea, I recently heard that on a video and I totally agree. I can't believe I never noticed that before at our farm, like where the fences are bent down a lot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo_hunter Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Re: Tip of The Week Great tip. Also on the fence thing, you can raise the bottom of the fence up and they like to go under them to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Re: Tip of The Week Thats it!!!! I am gonna errect barbed wire fencing everywhere in my woods then tie the top two rows to create a trail right to my backyard! Sounds like it will work anyways... LOL I have heard this tip before and it is a good one for sure! Unfortunately I have no fencing on my hujnting property. I hunt the funnels instead.
