RE: Bowhunting small woods?
I'm not sold on the "hunt the edges only" theory. If the deer are in the middle, hunt the middle. Wear knee high rubber boots and be careful, but if I only hunted teh edges of the wood lots I hunt I would get nothing. Instead I hunt near the bedding areas and "safe" areas and do pretty well. I also am not a believer in only hunting once a week in an area that size. I wouldn't hunt the same tree 4 days in a row but you can get away with a couple days, then move to another sight you have set up. I say hunt the deer, not the edges and when the rut is going hunt all you can, not just once a week.
