I found where all my deer go during the daytime.
My buddy from across the road that I mention quite often, Gave me a call this even, his brother just got this buck...
I actually DONT have a pic of this buck! He also had a Really SMALL body. I'm happy for him, I really am, but what am I doing wrong? How do I get them on my side of the road??![8D]To give you an idea, he shot it no more than 400yrds from my treestand.
Heres the pic, I thinking 130's.... what say yee'all?

How much land you have?

I have all kinds of wall-hanger pics, everyone of them at night. They must be bedding more on him and feeding after dark on me. Best I can figure anyway.

Go into your best wood lot, cut all soft mass 5" and smaller half way (hinge cut)and bend them over this winter. All soft mass over 5" scar the base of them with an ax. Make sure you cut into the meat of the tree all the way around the trunk, this should kill them. Your hard wood's will produce much better and you will have a thick under groth with lots of brows. Could be the best food plot you've ever done, draws and holdsdeer very well. Cost $0 just a little labor. Be good for about five years, then do it again.

Staging areas, perhaps the most import peice of land to find in the woods when deer hunting. I have taken my last two bucks off of an area of 10 acres that acts as Bedding/staging, when I can hunt the surrounding 200 acres, go figure[&:]He
