Stopping deer
alright guys ive got two stands inbetween foodplots and bedding areas with shooting lanes but my question is how can i get the deer to stop their on their way to food or bed? should i put a small feeder out? thanks jd

use those shooting lanes as something that deer want to walk through... i usually make two types of lanes, multiple small gaps that are specifically for shooting and one or two long wide lines that are for makeing the deer stop... i cut these lanes aout 8 to 10 yrds wide and go in preseason and rake all the leaves in these lanes a plant a small throw and grow type seed in these spots... between the bedding areas and main food source deer will pass in between and pick up a snack. Of course, corn would work just as well but that is not legal in alot of states, like where i live in alabama.

i dunno where your plot is vs the lane, but i wouldnt think it would detour the deer from the gravy train.
