needless to say i hunt the woods...the first spot is a natural opening. the second was trimmed for years by another hunter...after i started hunting there, he quit. im letting it thicken up a little before i touch it. next year i will likely clear a lane or 2.

around here, your better off back in the woods 100-200yds from the fields...the deer use that as a transitional area before heading to the field...under the saftey blanket of darkness. if my deer at home were in the fields all day, id never kill one because theres so many fields. they dont use them during the day because they are all seen by the road and the deer are pressured to begin with...

nothin wrong with trimming some lanes or making a little opening..so long as its your land or you have permission to do a little trimming of some underbrush. dont go overboard...deer are browsers and love saplings! thats why im not trimming the one spot..

Decoys work well on field edges.
