If you cut a trail be prepared for the deer to use it. I cut a bunch of trails for access across my property and the deer use all of them. I'd cut a main trail for the deer to use through the middle of your cover. Maybe plant clover on it. Then have access trails that dead end at your tree...

In PA every Walmart, Tractor Supply, sporting goods store sells corned marked as deer corn and various BOB baits and we're a no baiting state (minus the philly suburbs) plus I'm in a CWD area so we're not allowed to even feed deer before/after season.

A guy that works for me bought a Gardepro Cell Cam and loves it. I haven't tried anything other than the E5 or E5S.

Oof was on rutcation all week and didn't see what was going on. Taking a bath on almost everything. Yikes.

I sold what little I had at $4600. Was thinking about dipping back in though

Now that would be something!

That happens. My grandfather killed one in WV one time that had a few white tail feathers.

My 2025 Buck. Saw him walk out in the woods behind my cabin. Grunted a few times and he kept looking. He started walking back up behind the cabin and I snort wheezed and grunted a couple more times. I saw a flash of antler and sure enough here he came on a string. I thought he was going to...

Going to put the full story and pics in my land tour for my record. Not live but had some luck on Saturday. Grunted him in to 15 yards. Thought he was going to come right to the base of my tree but he veered at the last second to give me a nice broadside shot.

Now that we're well into the season, this plot and my water tubs are the most consistent draw on my property. I overseeded this with rye and wheat but not much of it grew. It was last years seed, but it grew in my main plot. Not sure if the clover was too thick for it to grow or what.

Ah I gotcha. Ya I've often thought about cutting the seats off and putting a more comfortable seat in it's place. The driving cushions are stiffer and hold their shape better instead of conforming to the seat shape after awhile like your typical hunting cushion. We called them hot seats...

Get one of these driving cushions to sit on. Makes a world of difference...

Now I differ on that. I enjoy camera card pulls immensely . Just seeing what I could potentially see when I'm hunting. Plus last year I got pics of a bear, a bobcat, and a fisher, I'd have never known any of them were there just based off physically seeing them.

I know right? I have my sights set on a 110" 7 pt. or a probably 80" 4 pt.

That's made a huge difference in PA too. We have the dirt to grow giants just also a lot of hunters that want to shoot a buck and pass a doe.
