[QUOTE="BSK, post: 2213218, member: 17"] [i]During hunting season[/i] the two major uses of NWSG that I'm seeing are 1) daylight security cover, especially on colder days. Deer can lay in the tall grasses and remain hidden, but can still be exposed to the warming rays of the sun; 2) as transition/staging cover before entering open feeding areas. More and more I'm using NWSG as a transition from timber to open feeding areas (ag fields or food plots). When these transitions exist, instead of deer holding up and staging deep in the timber before venturing to feed in the open areas after dark, deer are moving to the NWSG buffers to stage. They still might not enter the open field until after dark, but these tall-grass staging ares are very huntable. Deer may feel they are hidden in the tall-grasses as they wait until night-fall to venture into the field, but they are actually quite susceptible to hunting from an elevated position. Now in summer, I really like the NWSG areas as good feeding areas (weeds) that also provide cover, as well as fawning areas. Some research suggest coyotes prefer not to hunt in tall-grass habitat. I do believe NWSG fawning areas will reduce coyote predation of fawns. [/QUOTE]
