how to hunt small lots of land
 

I own about 10 acres of woodlot that is a creek bottom. I was wondering what he best way to hunt a small piece of land. Thanks.

The same way you would a big piece. Find the part that
has the most deer sign, or that forces them to use a certain trail. If they bed down there you may be in for a tough time sneaking in and out without spooking them too much.

yea i own a small piece of land too.the only thing i have ever taken there though was a 3 point. but yea what i do is find the spot with the most deer signs and hunt it.

just some random advice that i have wanted to try on my 10 acres. i would like to try and clear everything out of there (brush trees and all)and plant a whole 10 acres of alfa alfa field. that would be pretty sweet i think.

for those small lots i use my bow . i can get to some nice spots where discharging a gun isn't possible

Find the funnel leading in and out of the woodlot and hang a stand. Wait for the right wind and you'll be in business.

Takes time. Easy to ruin it for yourself so don't go tramping all over and stinking up the place. Several stands set in the spring is a good start. Takes me years to figure one out.

What you just descibed is exactly the ground I just killed my big buck on! It was some of the best hunting I have ever had!!

Hey I am in the same boat. I have live on 24 acres and about 10 - 12 is wooded and I hunt that. When I was looking for a spot I put a few bait piles out in different spots and waited to see where the most action was at. I also looked for some good deer trails were.

If i was you i would put me a bag of corn in the bottem by the creek and put you a tree stand where you can see your corn,and have good shooting range.

Yes my neighbor has a bag of corn next to a creek and oh my god. You should see the deer he gets out of that. and a ton of deer come there everynight.
