Large pine thickets!
Throughout the lease I hunt we have large pine thickets- most are short enough that you can't hunt them or even walk through them. But they are perfect for deer to bed in. The pine trees are about 10-12 feet high. There are trails coming out of the pines everywhere. I was hunting 2 days ago and I watched a doe feed right by me through the pines. My stand was set up on the edge of the pines, and the doe never came out. What could it have been feeding on? It was an evening hunt so I didn't get a chance to check it out before it got dark. What about stand placement in an area like this? Where should I get in reference to the pines?
