RE: Large pine thickets!
I have had alot of luck hunting Pine thickets... I try to find a good trail coming out to open hard woods, acorns, or water... deer will usually lay in there until the last minute, but I try to setup within shooting distance of the edge of the thicket that way I can cover the most ground, and during the rut this is prime time, bucks will cruise the edge of that stuff looking for a hot doe trail, and that is your time to cash in... Don't give up just cause one did not come out... Just try to setup in a place where they have reason to come out, and keep your eyes peeled....
