Thanks for the advice.

Farmhunter--I have a "honeyhole" spot that I use very close by. It's an extreemly thick area (like you have) that is bordered mostly by fields of alfalfa and a major road on one side. It's only 3 acres or so, but it's so thick that deer like to bed there--even with the traffic noise. I do leave it alone and hunt just along the edges, but now that gun season is ending (I mainly bowhunt), the deer are reluctant to leave their beds in the center until after dark. I don't own this thicket and cannot plant much of anything anything in there, but I am allowed to hunt there. It's adjacent to my property and I could possibly plant attractive deer foods on my place to intercept them in the years to come. What to plant is a major consideration. The alfalfa fields are 5 or 6 years old and will probably be replanted soon with timothy or straw so some of the thicket's attraction will be lost. IWC is pretty expensive, any less expensive ideas?

Today's small bucks are tomorrow's trophies.
