Read an article by Steve Bartylla today that really got me thinking. It was a food plot article in Deer & Deer Hunting but he discussed how people bowhunt too much of a percentage of their property and push deer nocturnal or onto neighboring properties. It really hit home with me and my property because it is only 35 acres but I typically put 4-5 stands on it and hunt every side. His point was to hunt the easy-to-get-to perimeter areas and to stay away from the interior so bucks will stay there and not get spooked. I think I'm gonna change my strategy on at least my property this year and only hang two stands in the easy to get to perimeter areas. Any thoughts?
