Default RE: Bowhunting small woods?

Never ever get discouraged by the size of the woods. The biggest deer I've seen taken are a lot of time taken from smalls woods.

With that said, be very picky when it comes to shooting deer. I hunt the smallest places you can imagine. I've hunted on next to tennis courts, golf greens and tees, kids tree houses, and once off a power line pole. I hunt where the deer are and I don't judge by the size of the woods. I only judge it by the trees I can climb.

If your allowed to bait, I would set up a feeder. Corn is the best thing to fatten them up and sweeten the meat before the slaughter. Farmers have been doing it for years with cattle. That steak you ate last night was grassed raised and then put on corn a few months before slaughter. Do the same to your pet deer. It helps you out as well as your pets.

Good luck
