We do 99% of our trimming in Feb-March...
don' t have to worry about scent control or
spooking the deer. We try and open lanes in
all 4 directions, if you leave a ' blind spot' you
can bet that' s where the deer are going to be[:@].
From my experience, mature deer seldom
walk where you expect them to...that' s
probably why they are old
.
I prefer to be generous with the size of my lanes.
I' d rather take my chances getting picked off
than have a shooter buck pass within shooting
distance and
not be able to get a shot
off...unfortunately, now is not the time to be
doing lots of trimming. At this time I would
open up a couple of small shooting lanes
so as to keep human impact on the area to
a minimum. I' d try and do your trimming
right before it rains....then at least the majority
of your scent will be washed away.
Good Luck
