The last several years I have bowhunted about 400+ acres near my house and have had success, and seen a lot of deer. However, I am moving in 1 week, and the place we are moving to has only 10.5 acres with it. The good thing is it is all wooded, has a pond on it and it covered with deer tracks right now. And I found an old rub from last year on a small pine tree.

It looks likeI may be bowhunting a little on my new place, but when I think of only having 10 acres I get kinda discouraged about it. The land is covered in Oak trees and I say many big white oak acorns from last year. And I got a spot around my pond where I may plant a small food plot (1 acre). And the land surrounding it is pretty open pasture, which Im hoping will persuad the deer to hang close to my place, where there is cover.

So, there should be cover, water, and plenty of food on this small place, and I could probably stick a young deer but Is there anything I can do to help my chances of having big deer passing through my place?

Who else hunts small woods successfully?

BTW, I cna still hunt my old place, I just cant hunt it alot like Im used to.

Thanks.
