This was another spot that held bucks. It was new growth pines, and very thick. The pines were about 8 or 10 feet tall and choked down with saw briars and grass. I found a spot where the loggers left a pile of tops and dead logs adjacent to an old skidder landing. The tangle of logs was relatively open to the sky and the pines formed a boundary transition along that opening. The deer were cutting a trail alongside that open spot and bedding on a hillside about 75 yards away. I took a machete and cleared a little lane out and hung a camera. The deer started checking out that little lane and hanging out in there. Notice how the spot is thick to the left and opens up to the sky to the right. It was a ground hunting spot to be sure.
