RE: Walking quietly
yes my property is very small.. they feed in the neighboors soybean fields and my woods is full of oaks with dropped a ton of acorns this year..and they bed on the other side of me off my property in a pine thicket..its a thicket of young pines about 8-10 feet tall..cant even walk through there its so thick..but you can clearly see the trails they have made going in and out...and there are clear spots all scattered throughout this pine thicket...so I think my woods is a crossing area..and also feeding area when they are eating the acrons....there are rubs all through out it...
and a rubline the goes from the soybean field through my peoperty to the pine thicket..or vice versa...I am not sure which way the buck was walking when he made the line..
