We seem to always post pics of our food plots and fruit trees,.. figured i would do something different today. Lets post pics of our jungles,. those thickets the deer desire so much for cover. Post up those ugly pics!!

These pics were taken friday off the northern property i hunt. I went in to put in my trophy rock and just decided to scout it out a little,.. this is the only time of year i can get in this mess. I would feel safe saying that 75% of this peice of property looks just like this,.. old hillside pasture in regrowth.

Here's a pic from the top. Gonna go up before its to late one day and get some really good pics. The highest point for a long way in all directions,.. the view is really much better than what my phone can picture.

And here is the pic from my treestand. Its on the back of the property in a drain that never was pature. Its the only place on the whole farm were i can see more than 5 yards,.. its hard getting back there needless to say.

Been hunting this farm since i was small kid. Still remember when it was all cleared pasture and cows running it. Its amazing when you look at it now,.. but the hunting is still good. VERY hard hunting when they can hide in the jungle,. all i can hope for is they come through the drain to get there.
 
Here is a pic that shows summer after we cleared a trail thorugh it.

Here is a pic that shows winter around a salt lick. More briars in this area which I like.

And the area around our most productive but small food plot.

I'd say out of 104 acres probably 80-85 is in sometype of cover like this. I basically have just opened up the tops of the ridges and am working my way down. I want to get a bulldozer into some of the poplar sapling stands and put them back to briars and browse.

Really holds the deer later in the year!

007,

That is some thick stuff. We have some hillside pasture that is about 3 years in regrowth. Deer love it, but it ain't near that thick. Those pictures remind me of some of the stuff we have in Bradyville. You can grow some nice deer in that thick stuff, but it's hard to hunt.

Here is a picture from a 10 acre feild, after 3 years of regrowth. We will probably cut it next year before it gets totally out of hand and start all over.

here are a couple pics leading into food plots. In some spots early bow season I can hear them but can not see them and then a head pops out. Thick is an understatement. I like it. The only bad thing is early I haev to be VERY careful on my bow shot selection and that means passing on a lot of does that I would normally take. Catch 22
 
Nice pics guys,.. i love these ugly pics!!!


Buckhunter,.. hunting that farm is not really fun anymore.Its hard work just to get to the stand,.. and you don't see alot of deer in that jungle. BUT,.. camera census is great fun,.. getting the cam back there is tough,.. but i'm getting some pics of mature bucks,.. so that keeps us motivated to hunt the area.

I so need to let this happen to our farm, but my grandfather and dad would kill me. It was taken 30 years to get it cleaned up and well drained. Good for crops and land value, but not so good for my deer hunting! lol
