HunterBlake Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 I am going tomorrow to set this farm up, there are several big bucks on this property, i think i know where i want to set it up, but just wanted to see what you guys would do, a couple weeks ago dad saw 160 class buck here when checking the lagoon for the apartments, i know it is kind of broad but here is a sketch of the outline and stuff.

HunterBlake Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 You cant really read my writing but the red is where i have saw deer in the past, grey in a fence row, pink is where i have hunted in the past without seeing anything, brown is the boundery of the property, the green enclosed area is a evergreen thicket, but sorry it is tiny, hope you guys can see it, thanks blake.

Ethan Givan Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Where those two creeks and that fencerow all come together looks good to me. Or maybe between the evergreen thicket and the fencerow where the creek comes through. Those would be my picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Prevailing winds?....Ethan suggested the bottle neck, great choice...also check what crops are close by and key in on those when the deer are on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterBlake Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I may set a stand where the fencerow and crick meat as well, saw a nice buck there once. Dont really know about the wind there, there is apsolutely no crops within 10-15 miles of this property, but the timber is filled with acorns, there is a logging road that runs alot the right fence row and one that runs in the middle of the larger timber going from last to right as well.

I agree, I'd hunt those two creeks in the early part of season, with the humid weather they will hit the water all the time. The water will provide relief, then they will head back to the thicket to bed. Fence rows will show you a lot of sign, hair will get stuck and will show you where a trail is.

HunterBlake Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thanks guys, ill put a stand down by where those two cricks and fence row meet, i was also thinking about putting one about 3 cemtameters up from my mouse and over 2 or three, my brother sat right by a tree in that area and had a buck come from the evergreen thicket at 15 yards, but it was to foggy to get a shot.

DocMort Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I would set something up on a travel corridor between the Evergreens and the food source, get in a good spot do some rattling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterBlake Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 i am pretty sure the main food source there aare acorns in the fall, dont know about the spring or anything, but everyday that i would walk that cow pasture at 11:00 am i would see two or three bucks going into the crick and comming from the evergreens to get water, then they would go back up the bank and in the timber. There are no crops within 10 miles from this location, but there are deer everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
