    he cut it very well nice smooth dirt as wide as a golfcart. i think the reseaon for the trail was to give his grandchild a path to drive the golf cart on.but i have a decent 12 point on camera from the other morning so things are looking up :)

    The deer will surely use a trail of this size for daily movement. I cut 3 foot wide trails all through my property about 7 years ago. I keep them open year yound. The deer use these trails for almost all of their travels through and across my property.
    I may be opinionated...but, my opinion is the only one that matters anyway.

    I mow trails... for the deer to use and for me to get to my stands quickly and quietly. The deer are all over my trail-cams walking these mowed paths and they have been there for three years now.

    Trails are great. The deer will adjust in no time and you will see more signs of them using it. Plant some clover or something like that in small section and you will find yourself setting a stand someplace along it. Good luck

    Years ago I cut a trail through a mess of briars so I could get to stand quicker. Didn't take long for the deer to start using the trail also

    I side with most here, I see deer using small paths I have cut on a regular basis. I have friends that cut paths and swear by hunting the path in an open spot or and entrance/exit of the path into the woods.

    I think this will have much less impact on the deer than it will you. This path has now given you many more access options for hunting this land. You should be able to discover much more about the property by accessing it in new ways
