ahhhhhhh!....a NOTEBOOK!
whooda thunk it?! THX FOR THE INFO!
well, I'll explain a little further...
The private property i hunt is only approx 40 acres, 12 of which is allocated to horse pasture...the woods have some good sign, but i'm unable to put the "pieces of the puzzle" together, as I don't beleive there are any deer living ON the property, but merely passing through and not very often, at that (no sign of bedding areas, only rubs and and a few scrapes here and there). Two fresh rubs were found a few weeks ago, as well as one new scrape that appeared to be freshened up not too long ago. The 40 acres are stretched out, rectangle shape rather than a square plot, therefore I only have so much "woods" to scout. I believe the deer are moving through the woods from one property to the next. One of the neighbors has a LARGE wooden treestand right on top of the property line. The rubs were found pretty close to that particuliar stand. I've gone over arial photos and topo maps...the woodlot is basically a funnel from one large stand of timber to another large lot...the area is mostly pasture land, so they HAVE to be moving through the property. I just can't figure out when and where and why they are going. [:@]
And all guesses, theories, and "thinkins" will now have to be accumulated and thought out for next year, as Saturday is the last day for deer, here.[>:]
PS. the owner's mother-in-law spotted a "BIG" 8 point in the front yard a few weeks ago.
