RE: Steering Deer with natural barriers
Here is another way of steering deer, i have seen this time and time again and most dont do it for that reason. cutting a lane for walking in quietly, after awhile if its not had to much hunter traffic, Deer WILL start following it excluding Mr. Big stuff, thats a whole different game. My Father inlaw mows 5' wide trails to drive his tractor on for food plot acess while on his property, and for rabbit hunting, The deer traffic on these lanes is unbelivable. When i mentioned putting up the steering barrier at the first of my post, im talking about a 25 yard long section that buts up against a nasty thicket on 800 acres unfenced. not even a pin head on the map. I really think they will take it or leave it. Im banking more on bucks that show up during the rut that dont call this there immidiate home range, The barrier will most likely be new to them and natural.
