Stop them?

Just shoot them when they walk past. They should give you plenty of opportunity.

You could spread a little corn out here and there if it is legal in your state. Just try to stay as scent free as possible while you are doing it. And get in and out as quick as possible.

I've put a couple of drops of buck lure on the ground right where I want them to stop.

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 just put up STOP signs on the trails, make it a 4 way and you can give out tickets to offenders.

well throw and grow stinks from the fertilizer, i'd imagine it wouldnt taste good at 1st, but after a good rain the fertilizer should be gone, the seed will germinate into a plant itll be ok.

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

ya got a pic of the area, cause there are 1000 solutions for 100 different scenarios
