Deer Hunting Isolated Areas
Deer hunting isolated areas can at times offer an excellent opportunity at harvesting a nice buck. The seclusion of such places often provide cover and a sense of security. The key is to find such areas that have a nearby food source.
The locations of isolated areas don’t necessarily mean that they are miles away from anything else. A small acre food plot, for example, that is surrounded by cover may only be 100 yards from a large field crop.
Another example could be an oak grove nestled inside a small patch of woods. If the oak trees are producing acorns, the deer will come. Such a location provides for good hunting.
Even if hunting farm land that are large in size, many times there will be a section of only a few acres that are used as fill crops. Deer will often feed on field crops in these smaller areas quicker than in the larger fields.
Another isolated area could be a small section of woods that run in between different crop fields or even cut overs. These areas are used as roads by the deer. They connect one type of terrain to another.
Water such as creeks or rivers that run through a hunting property also generally have isolated sections. Deer will find a shallow crossing area and use it. These locations should not be over looked as they will be used often.
Bedding areas are sometimes found on small isolated sections of a property as well. Especially if hunting near large open areas, there may be only a few places that provide adequate cover for beds. Deer will use such areas to be close to food sources.
If deer hunting on heavily pressured lands, this would be the time to go deeper into the woods. You may need to travel further to locate such areas that have not been disturbed by other hunters. Finding these areas may put you ahead of others.
Good luck and be safe.
