The entire surrounding land is owned by a large farm. If you look at the big picure, it is a 40 acre piece in the middle of a 6000 acre piece. Although my 40 acre piece may only have 12-15 acres of woods on it, I don't think the deer know where the property lines are. They probably pretty much view it as one big expanse. I do too, especially when trying to figure out deer movement.
