farmcntry,

My jobs gonna start interfereing next week once the time changes. I'll be able to go out for a few hours in the AM but its going to be real close to dark before I'm out. Might be a blessing tho as I'm down to 2 hunting spots this year.
One property is just shy of 3 acres but it abuts a large parcel thats barely hunted & my spots a kind of funnel they use to go in & out of the big piece to feed. Once the time changes I mostly go there on saturdays & with me not there almost every night they get more comfy & less edgy. All 3 of my deer this year have come from this property, 2 from the blind & one from a climber & they were all within 20 yards of each other. The other property I'm on this year is only 1.5 acres & almost all yard but the deer come thru alot too, just mostly after dark & before light. I had 3 right under me last thursday but it was too dark to shoot. Still it shows promise as I'v only sat there 3 afternoons & one morning (this morning) and I'v seen deer so I might focus on his land for a week or so & let the other one rest.
I work in construction & last year had a couple contractors let me hunt on job sites with good sucess. Got my first one off one of those sites. I just hollowed out a small spot in a pile of wood chips they were feeding behind & sat down & a big doe walked around it & looked at me from less than 20 feet. She looked for a few seconds & just started feeding. Wish they were all that easy.

Good luck guys!
