Deer trail tip
A buddy was telling me to run a 1 pound monofilament fishing line across a suspected deer highway. What you do is run the fishing line about waist high and if you come back in a week and the line is brokendeer are using the trail. Has anyone ever tried this? I need to remember this guy tried to take me snipe hunting too. [:@]:D

RE: Deer trail tip
It's an old trick called "stringing" trails. You don't need monofilament, just white sewing thread. Tie one end to a shrub and drape a length across the trail. As the deer passes, the thread will play out in the direction of travel. Only you don't wait a week. If you lay the thread in the evening, you check it later the next morning to see if they're using the trail in the evening or morning. To reset just re-lay the thread back across the trail. Before scouting cameras, it was a good way to pattern deer movement.

Thanks for the reply wingbone. Yeah, I have several cameras out in the area but there are several places that look like escape routes and I don't want to waste a camera on. Plus, all my cameras are on feeders.

They make a trail timer that is cheap, when the deer go through the line it pulls a pin, and that stops the clock, so then you can time your hunt.....
