I look forward to hearing about results of this blockade. I have read countless articles about using this strategy. I've funneled deer by cutting a path through a clear cut to encourage use of the path apast my stand but never tried blocking rather than opening. What I find around here is that it is so thick everywhere that deer immediately turn my "getting to treestand paths" into deer paths! I have a few paces where I need to try the blockade idea myself.
I actually sat in my stand for about 3 hours last Sunday evening. I got out before late evening to not spook any deer coming in towards dark. In that 3 hours I saw nine deer cross this small hillside. Eight of the nine were on the stand side of the blockade. Looks promising, but my Trophy Rock is on the stand side of the blockade. Right now the Trophy Rock is a big draw. The proof will come in Oct. and Nov. I'm hoping this will be worth the effort.
I may be opinionated...but, my opinion is the only one that matters anyway.
well I say if there on the wrong side now, all the better, it will leave better browse for fall time on your side then!
so I too hope it works ouyt for the best for you!
