RE: Describe your hunting area
I have two areas. My deer stand is located 60 yards off a dirt road on a wildlife management area. Straight across the road to the south is a food plot. There is a hole in the barbwire fence that the deer funnel through. To the west is tall grass and shrubs used as a bedding area. East is wooded timber slopping down with a creek at the bottom. North is thick timber of mainly oaks and hickory. My stand is in a tree that has 3 trees growing out of one base. My stand is on the middle tree and I have 3 lanes to shoot from. I took a buck from here last year while sitting on the ground up against that same tree.
My other area is on another part of the management area. It is a field planted with clover. The edges of the field is abutted with heavy timber and thick undergrowth on all sides. I have went in and cleared out 4 different sitting areas depending on the wind. I chose big trees about 5 yards off the field and cut multiple shooting lanes out for each one. While scouting a few weeks ago my dog and I ran across 6 does feeding on the clover about 7 in the evening. 13 more days!!!!
