I was able to obtain permission to hunt a piece of ground late last season. I set a few stands, however, I was not able to sit any of them last Dec.
I was out of this week to do some scouting for this upcoming season. I could not believe the amount of deer sign!! The grower told me that he routinely sees 40 plus deer everynight in the picked corn field. ( he was seeing this even last fall before the deer herded up for the winter).
The main food source is a corn field, (which half will be corn for next year, the other half carrots. Both deer magnets!)this field is located on the east side of the 90plus acres of woods.
The woods contains a few oaks, but mostly maples, poplars, and birch trees, with a swail in the middle.
The deer trails are highway's!! Almost 2' wide through the snow (wish I would have had my camera) Trails run both north/south and east/west. Looks like a chess board with n/s trails crossing the e/w trails, every 30-40 yards.
Because the only access is from the field side, it's basically going to be a evening stand location.
I have other hunting locales with good numbers of deer, but nothing like this.
Any advice on how to hunt a area with too many deer?
