I hunt on 8 acres myself,actually i went out this evening and saw 19 deer total, 3 does together,then a herd of 16 bucks and does.too bad they were 70-80 yards away,and the bow was sighted in at 30 yards max.oh well,maybe next time. but i do have deer,turkey,squirrel,and rabbits all on this 8 acres of land. what's around this 8 acres of woods,a clear cut? more woods? a field? a pond or lake,any food sources?all of the before mentioned would help very much. walk through the woods,look for tracks,trails,runs,rubs,scrapes,shed antlers,deer crap,etc... mine are eating polk berries and acorns right now.the 3 main things are food,water,and shelter.Good Luck!
