Here is 20 acres piece of land that was covered with
alder. The soil was of very good quality
and the sector was in a zone regularly used by the bucks of the area to avoid
the hunting pressure. In it’s center was
a small opening where we decided to lay out a food plot. There was also two conifers that were well
situated to install treestands in anticipation of the bow and crossbow hunting
season. Our error was to invade the area
too aggressively and the deers rapidly became nocturnal and never used all of the
area again during the day. We had
invaded their security zone and the deers relocated in an adjacent sector where
we could not hunt. The moral of this
story is that a bedding or a shelter area is fragile and it must be hunted with
great precautions. Have a good day. Louis
