Default RE: Best approach

Sounds just like a couple areas that I hunt. They are bedding areas around here. A ladder stand on one of the bigger trees will make you vanish. I have never been spotted out of a ladder stand in a pine. I have literally had deer sniffing the ladder rungs while I am sitting in it and they just never see me. I love hunting out of pine trees for that reason.

Like was said, find the main travel routes in/through the pines and set up with shots to as many trails and/or intersections as possible always keeping the wind in mind. If it is anything like around here, the deer will hang up in there a lot and come the rut the does will dive in there during the day and have the bucks chase them in circles through it throughout the daylight. Areas like that can be very productive if hunted properly.
