I hunt in a place were I can't plant a food plot and the only time I see deer is when they just pass through. How can I increase my chances and have them stay on my property?
I would find trails that they walk on through the property and put my set on whatever one gets the most traffic. In this I would pick a nice tree that is a good 15-25 yards from the trail so they are not right under you. Also when it's time I would try a tinks mock scrape. Probably sometime in August. Put the drip near where your lane is. Hope that helps
I have the same problem. I hunt 40 acres of wooded property. That I can't plant on and even if I could there are to many tree's. Fortunately here in Michigan we can bait. So I have a feeder. Sometimes I have deer on my bait every 15 mins 24 hrs a day. So if you can bait where you live I would.
Well the good news is all you really need is one to pass through in order to get a pass through. Get some cameras out and try to pattern what is coming through and when. Then plan accordingly
Have you looked at a topographic map? Sean from Sean's outdoor adventures on YouTube has really good luck with it in areas he's never hunted. He hunts mostly public land and that's how he gets so many deer without scouting.
