RE: When do you clear shooting lanes?
I see. So instead of cutting trails in the spring or early summer that will allow you to get into areas safely, and QUIETLY, you'd rather bull your way through the brush at 5AM in October, making enough noise to scare anything within a quarter mile of you, let alone have briars ripping through your face? And instead of climbing your trees in the spring and early summer, in daylight, and surveying the area you're hunting making sure you've got CLEAR shooting lanes, you'll just fling an arrow or bullet at a deer at daybreakwithout really knowing what's between you and the animal? By the way, deer make TRAILS through the thicket, just like most of us.
