I normally wouldn't have recommended this, but a friend of mine who just started hunting, decided to cut a trail with a weedeater and chain saw.

The trail went straight through the thickest of thickets and the bedding area of a large buck. It was a main core area. I found out about the cutting of the trail a couple days after it occured. We were three weeks into bow season...

Well, Mr. Big Buck stays in the area and exposes his broad side to my buddy. He misses the shot and the buck continued to use the path of least resistance in the thicket.

I encourage you to do the same except make your trail no later than the middle of July. Get in and get it done and the buck will get used to it.He willstart to utilize the trail especially when his rack starts to develop.

Pattern him with or without a camera and get in a tree stand...
