I seldom walk my woods other then shed hunting in the spring. Something has changed a travel pattern that been very predictable for year and I felt like exploring to find out why. Found it. A chunk of riverbank had collapsed and is now a HUGE logjam. there is now way a deer can travel around it without going for a swim unless they come around of the high side. Gotta look things over better. May be the very best high rewards/ high risk spots. Pinch point extraordinaire.!!. Access to it will be problematic as it's basically dead center between 2 major bedding areas. Most of you here know I've got a piece of phenomenal hunting ground and 1 reason is I try not to violate certain things. Leaving a undisturbed travel route is one. Have just as much fun watching deer travel through it is just pure awesome even if I'm 50 yards off the game. Will explore more and see if I can come up with a plan without compromising how the deer travel this spot.
Interesting topic on how deer movement/patterns can change. My uncle has hunted the ground where the family property is since the early 1960’s. He always claims to know how the deer move like clockwork. But sometimes landscapes change over time whether terrain, or food, or cover disappears. Ive seen this with my own eyes in a few spots as well. Went to an area where there is always a cattle path from the deer using it to get to area that was a huge thick bedding area. The usually beat down mud trail was all grown over and abandoned. Turns out the power company bought the property about 1000 yds from where im talking about and cleared it for a substation. Guess you could say the deer were hit by unnatural disaster.
Heading out! 15mph winds outa the west, I’m gonna try and get setup on the edge of bedding between the green field.
