New here, but I've been reading this forum for a couple of months now. I want to say you guys are a wealth of knowledge. Even though I live in the piedmont of NC, I work in corporate America so finding alot of good hunting conversations at work is minimal. Now for the introduction: I'm 26 and have been hunting the better part of my life. Last year I killed the two best bucks to date. Both were 8 pointers that scored 110" and 112" respectively. I know these deer aren't huge by any means, but it seems around here if a deer lives past 1.5 then he's really accomplished something. My hunting set-up is a diamond justice, HHA site, WB, etc etc, I bought it new after last bow season and so far so good.

Now for my question.
My Dad owns 12 acres that runs the around theside of a Mountain. It's all wooded with a house at the bottom and a house at the top. In other words it's a 12 acre length of woods with fields and houses on both sides. It is a natural travel corridor for the deer between the houses and fields. When we scouted the land we ran a couple of bedded deer out using the only entrance. I've hunted this property twice since and see a total of 6 does. My last time walking in I ran bedded deer off, but the kicker is I use the same trail each time i enter the woods. I don't want to keep pushing these deer off there beds, but sometimes they are there and other times there not? What plan of action do I take? I can't really enter from other directions without going into people yards?
