[QUOTE="TRHC, post: 5289302, member: 4485"] All of what MickThompson said. Also, I’d consider this…..since you’re bordered on the backside by ag fields, I’d leave an uncut buffer between whatever you decide cut and the field. Doing that would allow you plenty ambush spots to catch them going from bed to field. Leave the big trees, but take out some of the undergrowth so you’ll have ample shooting lanes. Doing this will leave a full canopy and will stay pretty clean underneath for many years. I’m talking about maybe a 40 or 50 yard wide strip, just wide enough to slip around the perimeter of the property and get ahead of the deer. Deer won’t think twice about crossing a short distance of clear woods to hit the fields. Just might give you more stand locations than if you cut all the way up to the field edge. (I’m assuming you can’t hunt the neighboring property here.) Hope what I’m trying to describe makes sense. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
