Default My Persimmon and other fruit trees

I just sprayed seven dust on my two persimmon, two green apple trees, and my pear trees. I had to put up make shift barriers because the deer are tearing up the fruit on the lower parts of trees.

These trees are in my yard, but wife had DARED me to hunt our 5 acres when I have so much other hunting land.

Does anyone really, actually hunt their property...mines only 5 acres, but holds deer in the evening drinking from pond and trying to get at our garden and fruit trees.

I dont plan on eating any of the fruit other than a couple apples, but I want them to get to full size and ripeness before putting them in a bucket and taking to my stand Im hunting on opening day!

I've killed deer on my 3 acres and a few neighbors lots as well. The deer don't care how many acres you own, only whats good to eat on it.

I have a stand 25 FEET from my house.

I have a stand in my backyard, about 35 yards from my house. Hung it last year, will hunt it this year in the early season to try and score an early season doe.
