Hi everyone. I know Im new to the forum, but also new to deer hunting.

I am having issues with jumping up deer and wanting to move around a lot.

I own 25 acres in Northwest TN. It is loaded with deer as we are surrounded by crops. My land is very heavily wooded and has a lot of undergrowth. At any point, I can only see 35 yards at most. I am hunting from the ground as I dont have a stand yet. The first day I went out (2 days ago), I jump up 5 or 6 deer about 15 yards behind my house where i enter the woods. I get to where I am sitting (big scrape and fresh daily, 5 rubs on a trail line all within 25 feet) and right away a deer snorts at me. It starts prancing around and puts on a show for about 15 minutes. Its small so I didnt shoot.

Today, I jump up a small 6 point or so about 15 yards after I walk in to the woods. He is about 25 feet from where I jumped up the others. He never snorts but runs off. On my way out of the woods, I sware I jump him up in the exact spot as before. There is a creek bed I have to cross to go in the woods. Thats where they all seem to be.

What should I do about the woods being so thick and having no real clear view/shot? Should I stay on the scrape area, or move to the trail with the rubs that they were on when I jumped them up? The lack of open area is playing hard on my will and mind. It makes me want to move a lot cause I feel like I have such limited space, I will never see a deer before it sees me..... All the action seems to be taking place within 75 yards of the back of my house along this dry creek bed. I have a lot of acorns, thickets, and bedding area. There is one area along the creek bed that has a clearing about 15 yards wide and 50 yards long. At one side of it length wise is the heavy trail with the rubs. But the scrape is through some bushes and cant be seen. What times should I hunt, what areas, etc?

Thanks, and sorry for the long post.
