Hunting Strategy
How many of you have ever tried incorporating a sanctuary within your hunting area?
One of my hunting spots is a small piece of land. It is 40 acres with about 25 acres being crop fields. Of the remaining 15 acres, there is about a 5 acre buldge of thick nasty stuff in the middle of it. Right away I noticed that the deer, especially the does liked to hang out in this spot. So I told my hunting partner that we should never set foot in there and only hunt the edges of it from a distance. It basically has a north and a south exit/entrance. By leaving it alone, and only hunting a safe distance from the enterance/exits, the deer remain on our piece all year long. During the rut, the bucks come and go through it all day long. It's perfect!
This works really well on smaller pieces of ground, where you could push the deer off if you weren't careful.
