[QUOTE="Jon54, post: 4091372, member: 15869"] I just gained access to a new piece of property and I've not had time to adequately scout out the area. The property was select cut about 3 years ago and the woods are thicker than thick. The property does have several logging trails that run through the property. Saturday, I walked several of these trails and found numerous tracks so I assume the deer prefer the easy way to get around. I found one area where a trail was several feet below the ground to its side. It's almost like someone bulldozed the trail thru a hill. My thought was to use this part of the trail as a funnel if you will and put a stand on the hill overlooking the trail. My question is whether this logic is sound or will deer avoid this area because of a feeling that they are walking into an ambush spot. Muzzle loader season is just around the corner and I need to get some stands up. Also, how long before the tops of the timbered trees decay so you can get around? I sense these woods are full of deer but every piece of ground with trees are amazingly thick. [/QUOTE]
