On the other hand, old logging roads that were not used and suddenly are, the Deer shy from. Over time the Deer will get use to him using his road but you're going to have a couple lean years imo. There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

I own the 33 acres he drives through. He just bought the 17 acres last year. It was part of a 97 acre parcel but the seller broke it between him and 1 other owner. The price was very high, b/c of creek frontage. Last edited by AJE; 10/27/22 12:24 AM.

The deer if they are anywhere near the road will reverse direction every single time. Some guys actually do it to harass people who are hunting. I also would put a huge fence that straddles the easement so all he sees is wooden picketts.

My other hunting property had 2 houses go up next to it just in the last year. And where I hunt is considered rural Wi. Last edited by AJE; 10/27/22 12:38 AM.

Hopefully I don't have to, but it's an interesting idea that might be legal.

I used to see deer all the time while working fields with a tractor , they would let you get close also. If you stopped , they watched you , it you shut down the tractor or got off it , they were gone. While running a trap line with an ATV same thing ,they watched you and wouldn't run unless you stopped and got off. This is what I noticed. Dang! Boco! You don’t mess around!!

Lots of people think you need to go deep. Some times you do othe time you can kill them in the parking lot and those are often over looked. It was a much nicer drag than the his 2nd of the year that was over 1/4 mile drag

A couple nights ago coming in here to the house I had to stop in the road and honk the horn to get a little fork horn to move. When he moved he was not scared, looked more annoyed that I was making noise.

They even appear to get hit with the #9 shot as it falls out of the sky and they simply flinch like a horse that is covered with flies. It is amazing what deer can get used to.

It would not even lift it's head up if i drove on by. But if i would slow down it's head would come up & stay up till i was on down the road TILL THAT DAY..... When we have to re-write a piece of history, we will no longer have to believe a lie
