I have a huge pine thicket that I hunt(60 acres) and as you can see theres a trail that runs along the outside edge of the thicker pines. Theres also a trail that runs just inside the edge of the field to the east. This is public land, so the deer dont really go out in this field until after its dark. Should I hunt the parallel trail that runs along the bedding, deeper in the woods, or take a chance hunting the one along the field and hope a deer uses it while theres still legal shooting light?
Lines= Deer Trails
Green Dots= Scrapes
Red Dots = Big Rubs
I have to think hunting the parallel trail that runs along the bedding, deeper in the woods, would be more productive than the open field trails. Hunting where the bucks are on their feet during daylight hrs the most is the key.
