Greg,

I know the buck trail theory is infact true in many instances. Now let's think about this for a minute. Can one be created?

Suppose I have a really thick area going into (and out of) a bedding area. I want to purposely funnel the deer to a local that lends itself to a treestand set. I know I could go in and cut a trail that many deer would use. But under the buck trail theory would I be well served to cut a secondary trail (not as open as the first) parralelling the better trail?

I knowthe 3 main placeswhere entrance and exit to this area are used. 1 I have a stand 1 is a rural road border with no access to the other side (at this point) and 1 is the above mentioned area where an area would have to be "created" due to low vegatation and lack of climb-able trees. This trail could easily steer does and lesser bucks into the area I need. I'm sure of that, but I need some big boys to feel comfortable and secure in using it to.
