Hunting escape routes for mature deer is nothing up-to-date, but it can be underutilized. A few years ago, I discovered how effective such areas can be, especially during the early days of gun hunting season.
I hunted a certain farm for several years before I fully realized what a deer magnet this area could be. It wasn’t until a hunting buddy tagged an impressive 11-point buck on the first day of gun season in a certain stretch of woods overlooking a marsh that I realized it might not have been a coincidence.
