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.
