RE: 32-Official Team Freakdaddys Thread
I guess I should explain a little, huh?
The bushes and scrub that you see in the pics is exactly what the cleared/plot area looked like 2 months ago. Iscouted in this area and there are trails and sign everywhere, it's just SO thick, it's practically unhuntable. I wanted to find a way to hunt it. So I went in with a tractor and bushogged some shooting lanes. I know that for this season it might not produce much after doing this, but I'm really hoping this will be a great spot for future seasons. I still have my other stand location but I've been trying to leave it alone as much as possible until I get up there to hunt. It's on the slope of a creek bank next to some of that thick stuff likein the pics, and it's surrounded by white oaks. I had a camera in there last year,and I think I was disturbing the area too much. My two areas are about a mile apart.
I just had to try something new and different. Nearly everytime one of my lease members (mostly gun hunters)sees a deer it's coming out of and going toward that thick stuff. I scouted in areas away from everyone else as much as possible and really never could come up with a stand or blind location where I could see farther than 5 or 6 feet. I know that the deer are moving through that stuff, I just have to find a way to bowhunt them. I finally came up with the idea of making my own area. Hopefully it will work out for me one day.
