Default Group of bucks

I have been seeing 3 decent bucks in a field adjacent to where i hunt. I cannot scout the land between the field i hunt and the field where i have been seeing them since the landowner there is a real jerk. The area between the the fields is about 150 yards. I know bucks don't stay together all through bow season and was wondering if you guys have any advice on how to get the bucks to come to my field. Thanks

Have you tried to get there early and see where the bucks are coming from. If they are crossing you property to get to the field I'd get between the bedding aera and where they enter the field from. This sounds like a chore that may pay off opening day if you play your cards right.

It's a little late to plant now. Your could try to plant some winter crops to entice the deer to feed on your property. Play it safe and check the law book though. I'm not sure the legality of food plots in PA.

Draw in the ladies and you'll draw in the bucks. Do you have food plots? Feeders?

I would plant some winter wheat in your hunting area and wait.

Well i hate to be the bearer of bad new, but i hate to say it........those bucks may not be there for bow season. There patterns will change most likely when the leaves fall and the smell of doe urine is in the air. Some bucks not all will travel back to when they were younger and the mother had raised them and thats where they are use to corralling does and breeding. Your area may be just that area, but if these are new deer they may be nomad deer instead of homebodies, but good luck

8-10 tons of corn usually works for me! i hate to say it, but turkey fan is right. chances are you wont see them when bow season comes. of course i'd rather see them than not see them. you might catch one hanging around later. they all like the free meal so that is what i try to stay with. i know you cant bait in pa, so make sure they clean it all up before the season starts!
