Little parcels

[kbetts]

Who hunts them?  One of my best deer holding spots is a 15 acre chicken farm.  More than half of it is chicken houses and solar panels but that bit of stream bottom....whew.

Same farm, different parcel, I saw four shooters in last night.  It's only a strip of woods along a pond but butts up to a nice piece of timber I currently don't have permission to hunt.  I want to come in from the pond side but obviously the big boys enter the field from the timber.  Going in from the road, I'd only be about 250 yards from where they enter the bean field.  I'm not parking anywhere near the road cause I don't need to attract any attention if you know what I mean.  This is going to be one tough setup but ya gotta try, right?

Anyone else in the same predicament?

Kill some nice deer in small paecels.

They hold good deer but usually as a pass through area rather than a bedding area, perhaps. Not always.  They live where they feel safe and I think they have been conditioned over time to feel safer in small places. Ask Roger Rothhaar or Bobby Worthington.  When I hunt these places, I see a lot fewer deer and sometimes no deer but when I do see a deer I can usually get him.

Don't do it much anymore, just because my situation has changed, but those small pockets can be real gold mines.  Good luck.

These three were taken from my little nine acre patch in central Illinois.

One of the best places I had was a 3 acre patch.  Even from the outside looking in it didnt look like much.  The first ten yds on either side was so thick you had to crawl in.

Once you were inside though oh my is was really good.

Beautiful pics.  Watched a couple on the bean field tonight.  The cooler weather has the does bedding in the corn field next to the beans where I can hunt.  The one shooter I saw made his way to one of the places I want to set up by dark...barely.

Yep and usually easier to get permission to hunt because nobody else wants it.

I know of at least five bucks and likely a dozen does that hang around my father's 12 acres in Rockingham Co., NC.

Of these deer, one buck and two doe are crippled, probably from being hit by cars. All three are mature deer. The buck looks to be around a 10 pointer, but with a modest rack.

Those three are my goals this year. All have bad back legs. Two might as well be three legged deer.
