I had a trail like this, It'spretty much screwed up now. It was about 20 yds south of a main doe trail. When I was about 13 I watch 4 different bucks come down that trail. I move a stand there and had some great hunting for many years. We turn the field in front to CRP and it has not been the same. ButI have a theory

It was not until a 10 years ago I figured it out, the trail was a huge "loop" into bedding areas. Bucks could walk entire woods from the North side to the south and scent check the entire 25+ wood lot. If only I knew not back then
From this trail a buck could check out both fields with a visual and scent check. If the wind is coming out NW(does in Nov alot) he could see both fields.I shot a huge 300+ pound 8 pointer Oct 11th 1997 on that trail. I also shot 3 more bucks off it. I had a streak of 4 years in a row shooting a buck off that stand. I have not hunted it for 8 year now. Dad cut a logging trail right down it
