[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 5655124, member: 18110"] When we moved here in '12, there was a distinct deer pattern across the farm. Deer don't really stay here, but they travel through with a predictable frequency. Someone built a house on the hill I had been hunting (the most deer activity). The house is about 500 yards from where I usually hunt...at the end of a long hay field. This hay field is on top of a big hill...I've posted "office" pics from up there. After the house was built, and especially since the owner moved in, the deer patterns changed. Best I can tell, it moved much of the deer down the hill, and across the road...maybe 8-900 yards away. Also, there are 3 extremely large oak trees in their new travel path. These trees are in the middle of another hay field, and only about 100 yards from a house. For some reason, that house doesn't seem to bother them...the deer congregate around those trees all the time. I understand it's a food source, but there are other oaks in the area. These must be special..so much so, that the dogs barking/chasing them doesn't seem to deter them from going to it. Anyway...the owner of those massive oaks just had them cut down...last one hit the ground yesterday. My question is...what is this "likely" to do to the deer pattern? I realize that question probably can't be answered without seeing the big picture. I'm just asking about likely scenarios. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
