Got any multa flora rose down there?

Hey here's the funny thing (hell I don't know, JIM!!)......

I catch some flack (used to bother me....don't, anymore) for hunting "suburban" deer. OK....I called it that first....because I didn't know any better. Thing is....if they WERE suburban (more)....I'd have a HELLUVA lot better chance at them!...lol

I hunt roughly 70 acres. There are 3 homes that front the road along one stretch....and the deer DO use the back part of these lots for a staging area (It's about 3-4 acres....abutting the parks system that is 230ac). There's a house on a 15ac tract I can't hunt.....and then one more house on a 13ac tract I do have access to.

I'd LOVE it if they'd come out here and eat some flowers!

I have a similiar deal. All the crops are pretty much gone andthe little bitthat is left (and the grass growing in the fields) get hit really late in the eveningor at night. I have found them browsing on grasses growing from the dry ditches and I noticed they really like branch tips, the little bulbs on the tips of the lower smaller trees. I find an areanear the fields and ditchesthat is thick with low level trees/browse and post up around there. I honestly see a lot fewer deer this way but usually still see some and hopefully next week when I get some time off I might be able to get on one or two.

If you don't know you don't have any. Multi flora rose is the most vicious man scaring, clothing shredding, tear causing plant god ever put on this earth.[:@]

But deer love it and deer hunters fear it. Greatest wildlife cover ever.But it is impenetrable.

Multa flora rose drinks round up like kids drink Cool aid.

GMMAT, I have found that later in the season, that the deer like to bed on top of hills on the south-southeast side. They will start feeding usually the last 45 minutes of daylight. It seems that they have a reason for what they are doing and usually they will be moving at a good rate to get to wherever they are feeding. If you can find a place with thicker cover on top of a hill, etc., then you will have a chance at ambushing them as they exit to feed. Now if that bedding area leads out to wide open land, then the deer will find the narrowest/thickest line of cover to travel to get to their food source. If you can set-up along that line of cover, the one they use to get where they are feeding, then I would say you have a decent chance to get a shot off. Make sure you are entering your stand in a manner that does not allow those deer to detect you as you set-up. They are up high and noise travels upward, so enter slowly and quietly from an angle that prevents you from being seen...you may even have to set-up in a less desirable stand location just to give yourself a shot at getting within range without getting picked off when you are entering. Good luck.

Speaking of feeder. I have never use a feeder but have thought about using it for after season.

Thread from other forum if this will help. Sounds easier to build one.
