The one zone I hunt is very, very thick. Scrub Oak, Laurel, and greenbriars. Very difficult to get back into. It took me a day and a half to cut a way back in that wasn't on a trail. ( I always start my trails 10 yards in so they are difficult to find) Every day I hunt there I see deer. I have never been in that stand and not seen alot of deer. Starting at 630 in the morning to lunchtime, its almost a parade of deer coming down that one trail.
EXCEPT TODAY. Not one deer. Once in a while I would see a little flash of white, not a tail and too white to be a leaf flashing. On the way out. I walked down to the trail. It was a piece of white kitchen trash bag tied to a branch, right on the trail. 15 feet away another one,every 15 to 20 feet the entire deer trail back to a fire break about 300 yards away was a white marker. Two empty beer cans laying right on the trail. I picked up the cans,and cut down all of BOZO's markers. Just wondering if I should continue to hunt this spot, or move on. I really hate to move on, and give up a productive stand, and I don't want to hunt a stand thats not going to produce. Any OPINIONS. Its State Ground, so its not like survey markers or tree removal tape.
