I think we feel confident with blocking some trails because there's other major trails to travel and since we're on the way to crop fields we know they'll keep traveling. Also because we've seen a few places where trees had fallen and only the top smaller branches covered an old trail, they just bipassed it naturaly like we hope that they will where we did it manualy. I hope it works out cause we won't be able to change it for a week or two.
That is sort of strategy at this point. We have trees selected in places where we can intercept them on their way (valley funnel) and one guy is right over them.
The problem with not hunting the small food plot is that we're only on 5 acres and there's not a whole lot of places to go that aren't right around the food plots
