Hello Everybody
Over the past several years i have been hunting on 10 acres it is surrounded by other woods that other people hunt and we all know each other on this 10 acres there are white oaks and the majority of the acerage is a big pine thicket. Last year i hunted this area and seen a good number of deer out of a lock on stad on the edge of the pine thicket (killed 3 does out of the same stand last yr and saw a very mature 8 point during bow season that i missed)but this year i am not seeing anything. About a month before season i went in and threw some corn and started a small food plot (real small) didnt want to disturbe the area to much because of all the luck that i had been having in the past yeasr on the property. I have hunted 2 times on this property this year and not seen anything so i went back 3 weeks ago and dropped a 40 lbs bag of corn threw some more throw and grow and put a camera on it. I checked the camera yesterday and was very disapointed to not have any pics but of me and my son walking away from the camera and walking up to it. Last yr right before season they came in and done a small clear cut on antoher peice of property that is some what connected to this property. my questions are. 1.) have i pushed the deer out by clearing a small place for a plot or has the clear cut hurt me? and what can i do to start seeing deer back on this property or is there anything i can do? Any help is greatly appreciated i will load pics in a bit of the small plot and the clear cut. thanks
