Small island in a pond...one entrance/exit

[briarman]

I found a small island with a few oak trees that sits in a pond about 20yds off the nearest shore, but is connected to the shore by one small mucky swampy strip that is no more than 15ft wide.. Due to its lack of escape routes(other than the deer fleeing by swimming) I had my doubts. Any experience with this fellas? The pond is about 10 acres and the island is probably 1/4 acre. it is very "overlooked". It struck my curiosity. Im trying to improve my"have to see the deer via jumping them to believe they're there" skills...so trying to not bust them out prior to hunting. Seem to small? Seem to limited in escape routes??

Throw a stand at it. One way to find out

Ive canoed out to an island that was completely surrounded by 4ft deep water before. About 50 yds of open water from mainland. It was probably only 1/4 acre in size and there were beds and good rubs on it. Never hunted it though, not even sure how i would. Unless the marsh was frozen.

I'd say its worth an sit!
