That sanctuary Brandon brought up is a good idea. All three of the leases I've hunted had one. On two leases it was near a border, one the lease I have now it is right in the middle.

One reason is when the game feels stressed from hunting or whatever they have someplace to go other than your neighbors place.

And another reason is if TSHTF you have a spot where you know there is a meal to be had.

Mostly the safe havens are bedding areas. Tall bushes (hedge rows) with good overhead cover, good view (at least in one direction) and multiple escape routes. Hogs will burrow into the thick stuff. Deer often prefer someplace with a little elevation and good fields of view to bed down in. The exception being Doe with young Fawns, they seem to prefer someplace lower, out in the open, but with tall grass or weeds, away from the normal bedding areas.

Spring mowing can be a dangerous time for Fawns, the Doe flee, the Fawns hunker down and won't move.
