Needing some opinions here. Biggest deer on the place have been killed at the stand east of 1, and the stand north east of 6.
Purple- property line
Red-existing member’ stands
Blue- my stands
Yellow- potential areas for feed pens with hand corn
1, 6, and 5 are three I’ve been thinking hardest about. Biggest deer on the property skirted the area around 3,4, 5 all season. Between 2 and the well site we have seen some big deer. I think the creek bed south east of 1 is the natural funnel I’m looking for. Briar and pine thicket around furthest south blue dot, potential sanctuary area. Large creek with steep banks on south property line. All of the oak areas with less dense trees are creek beds and sloughs. Yellow dot 1 looks awesome, rattled in a deer there last year sitting under a pine skirted with berry vines. He came out of the creek funnel behind me. Dot number 6 is an awesome open oak thicket, with most of the Deer seen in that side of our place coming out of those creeks. I have had numerous bucks running does in there over the years. All red and blue dots have feeders as well. The notorious “nocturnal” deer re very abundant on our place. Am I on the right track with my thinking? Dot number 2 is kind of a highway on that curve of the caliche oilfield road. This is East Texas by the way, tough hunting but the deer are there. Not many morning hunts are made after bow season, not many people up there during season but the deer are wary of fourwheelers and people. Any more insight?

Kind of late to put feed pens and such up at this point. Acorns are dropping already. I would be looking for hardwoods on right side of pond, and follow the smz north of the Caliche road far away from everyone. Get out of the pines and find hardwoods.
