That area son, is called a sanctuary and should never be hunted..

The purpose of a sanctuary is to give the deer someplace where they can hide and where they can go when the weather gets bad.

When you disturb the sanctuary area, there are times where the deer will not use it anymore or will not use it the way that you have become accustomed to seeing them use that area.

Your best bet is to hang a deer stand 30 yards from one of the ingress / egress points and sit and wait. Sooner or later they will come out of there. If your property is not posted, wait until rifle season and let the other hunters push the deer out of there and to you.

Where I come from, you can only shoot one buck per a year, so one shot is all you need to fill your tag.

One real problem with hunting inside of a sanctuary area is the fact that you could sit in your tree stand all day and not see anything - yet the deer might only be 60 yards away.

As soon as you get the bright idea to leave your stand and go get some lunch or get warm or take a nap at camp or what ever silly things that hunters do that don't hunt the entire day. Usually as soon as you go to leave your tree stand, that is when you will see the deer - either coming towards you or going away from you.
