Ok, heres the deal... My parents bought 11 acres here in East texas deep in the sticks, my friends 35 acres of land wraps around our land in an L shape giving us a total of 46 acres. I know its not much. As u can see by my name we cant afford to get on a deer lease so me and my friend are trying to attract deer to our land. When we moved in to this area 10 years ago(I was 5) there was deer sign all over the place, dropings, tracks, and sightings. We moved in, along with 5 dogs and wammo... no deer have been seen since. Over the past 10 years we have found probably 4 sets of tracks, but have never seen a deer. Iam wanting other peoples opinions about what to do to get the deer back. Our dogs pretty much never set foot on the back 25-30 acres of our land so this is where we are going to try and hunt what do you think?

Oh yeah.. the land is sourounded on two sides by large acreages of woods and on the other two by houses. Last fall I planted an oats plot (too close to the house) with no luck (my fault though).

I put up an arial picture tommorow to show the layout of the land, food plot and where houses are...
