Just curious if anyone else has tried this. I have a favorite stand tree that is just right to be wrong, its in a killer location, i see a ton of deer from it, killed my Doe from it this season, and its bordered on three sides of some heavy cover. Here is the kicker, there is only one tree sutible for a stand with the wind direction, the rest are either to little or in the wrong place, however im a little far back from where the deer cut through the corner of it. The bucks tend to hang real tight to the cover naturaly and it puts them just out of range, (the bigger ones anyway ) the Dinksseem toalways walk within shooting range SO i went in today, drug some dead trees and some brush and built a natural barrier to get the deer within 25 yards of my tree, sort of necking them around it a bit. Im hoping i went in early enough so they will get used to it and establish a new travel route Hoping i did not screw up a good area
I could not help but walk another 300 yards to the new location i arrowed my buck from this year the first time in. Its just set up so perfect, on one side is a nasty thicket with a huge oak tree that has fallen towards my stand making the funnel tighter, the other side is a creek bed, behind me is a bedding area, and in front of me 100 yards is a corn field. Thoughts on building natural barriers guys???
