I just read an article in our local state magazine, and trust me it applied very well, cause Georgia is covered with the little pines. One of the points of the article was to try to find and open spots in the pines that are secluded, the deer seem to like them. Another point was to hunt the edges nearest to their food source, but if you ask me, if they don't come out until after dark, then there is nothing you can do about it. The third idea, which requires the most "off-season" work, but certainly seems to me like it'd be worth it, is strategically making trails in the pines with a chainsaw or machete just big enough for a person t walk through without making a lot of noise. And when i say strategic i mean making alot of trail intersections, then hunting them. Supposably, the deer jsut call these trails home and travel them without being hesitant. All i know is the guy said it really worked. Something to think about.
