A friend of mine, my wife and I completed phase one of my attempt to funnel deer at my property. This natural "man made" fence runs approx 60 yards long and only took about five hours to complete. I will keep adding brush to it over time to keep it in place. We did this project on April 21. I put up a camera on April 28 and started getting photos that night. My Porta-Pot stand is about 35 yards to the right but not in the photos. My hope is that the fence will help to get the deer traveling along this hillside between the fence and my stand. After watching the deer movement on my property for eight years I know this area is already a main travel route. I'm hoping the fence just narrows down the path the deer travel.
I pulled the camera card yesterday and so far so good. Even the grey fox choose the side of the fence towards my stand.
