Default RE: I got my Oats in.

VERY NICE - thanks for posting the pictures - I can tell you did alot of work, and I expect you'll be rewarded with increased deer sightings.

It seems like you might want to consider shooting more does, if your hunting regulations allow it. There is a very obvious "browse line" on the field edge - that indicates to me that you have a high deer population, and thinning could be in order. The other option is to offer more food, year round and increase the CC of the land.

The corner to the "left" in the picture looks to be the best hunting spot - BUT the prevailing wind comes from that side by the the way the grass leans - This is good, until the deer enter the field, then you'd be busted. It might be a better "north wind" stand - that corner.

Good luck this fall -

FH
