Default RE: Can you ruin a woods?

Those deer around those fields have been bumped and pushed by farmers all summer and last. You can get away with a stroll around the edges looking for trails with no problem. Next you need to walk through it. You aren' t going to spook them away with a quick trip. If you hunt from climbers just select some spots as you walk quickly and stinky free as you can through. Just looking at the photo you have a likely spot in the upper left where the wider hedge row merges with the woods. I' d put another on the bottom opposite corner for an Easterly wind. I' d find a way in from both side for a morning hunt and a place somewhere in the interior to hunt. I' m not a trimmer. The less you cut the better you are. I firmly believe it' s better to trim nothing and pick your holes than cut LANES. They' re just asking for deer to be spooked. The stands near the edge are no problem to set when you can if you don' t stink the place up. I' d probably not hunt them in the AM unless I could come all the way through quietly from another side. What' s the water? Can it be waded. It' s going to funnel the deer. Can you approach from across it to get to the interior? Looks like there is a nice thick patch of woods East of the pond that will also attract some deer. There' s a good bottle neck leading to it from the field and hedge row to the north. I' d look there to.
