Alright, here's an idea I've thought about trying. Let's look at a closeup of the property just south of the food plot:



It doesn't show it on the map, but the area in red in the center was timbered back 6 years ago. It has since grown up into a tangle of briars, young hardwoods, and other shrubbery. It's so thick in there at spots, it's hard to walk.

Last post-season, I found a well used trail (indicated in orange) that ran right along the fringe of that cover. To the east of that trail (marked in red) is more thick growth that's off our property where I think deer are bedding as well. The blue dots are two very good sized rubs I found in the area. I hunted at the bottom of this slope once this season (below the bottom edge of the map), and I saw one lone deer moving just north of this trail just inside the edge of the thick stuff. It was heading east. The white arrows indicate the wind direction today. Thinking about giving it a shot...thoughts? The ONLY issue it getting out...I would have to walk down the slope (south) to eventually reach my driveway, but sometimes deer congregate in the SE bottom of this slope to eat grab apples. Hmmm...what to do?
