Default RE: Altering Deer Trails

I've done it with one stand that had alot of tall grass. I weed whacked a trail about 100yds long that came past my stand about 20yds away. Then sprayed weedkiller on the trail. I just made it wide enough to walk, not an atv trail. I did it about this time of year so they were on it by bow season. My experience was the does, fawns, and bears followed it well, but the bucks were more unpredictable and still roamed wherever. Even later in the year when we had snow and all the tall **** was knocked down, they still followed that trail.

My input for what it's worth, I've had better luck finding the bucks on their own trails however. Rubs, scrape lines, etc.
