rr79, thanks for sharing that app, i've been looking for something that easy for a while!

With that small property I would go in, find a good spot and hunt in on the fly for the first time. If you observe something different then you can change. In that area those deer are going to be very unpressured suburban deer and you can get away with that for a while. The best chance you are going to have at a buck without baiting them in is to catch them cruising through after does right now.

Yeah I didn't plan on baiting. Might be able to hunt this tomorrow morning if I'm lucky. Figured I'd try to find a good game trail or sign to the enclosed field and set up of of that.

I'm not advocating baiting, I'm just saying that on such a small parcel they are really only going to be moving through.

Not always. Really depends on what the property offers. I bought 4 acres of rural land back in the summer and quickly discovered that it has excellent doe bedding. They like to sleep right underneath the scotch pines. There is also some good adjacent food sources and water nearby.

The problem is you can trash such a small property in just a single hunt. Deer can easily avoid small parcels like that and may not come back for an entire season if pressured.
