[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5516278, member: 20583"] That's precisely why I cut trails for deer. I found that whenever I'd cut trails for myself to easily/quietly access stands, deer would begin using them, which would ruin that stand site. I figured if they would that then perhaps they'd use trails if I cut them to pass in front of my stands. And by golly they do. One particular trail stands out because in the last three years I've shot at three mature bucks in the same exact spot on trail I cut. Killed two and flat missed one. I had to cut a gap through a dead fall, removing a few feet of the log. Over top of that gap I bowed over a tall sapling and tied the top to another bush on the other side of the gap, then hung a vine from it to dangle right across the center of that gap. Sure enough they turned it into a scrape and now it's the hottest spot on the property. No food plots or minerals or water holes or any other habitat enhancement for hundreds of yards any direction. Just a chainsaw, a few inches of paracord, and 10 minutes of time is what it took to create the very best habitat "enhancement" I've ever personally experienced.
