RE: Question on brush....
like hawgnman said, if it's a small area i would hunt the edges of it. if it is a big area, one option is to take a walk behind tiller in there and cut some trails. deer will eventually use the trails that you cut. some small shooting lanes will also work, but don't go too crazy. i have about forty acres of our farm that was clearcut and is almost unhuntable. we call it the badlands. we cut some trails and some shooting lanes, and have taken two nice buck out of there so far.
