I think low pressure is the number #1 key to great deer hunting. Here is my list
1. Made about 2/3 of my property a sanctuary
2. No walking from camp to most stands - we use an electric cart
3. Travel routes to stands on perimeter of property
4. All cameras can be driven to with electric cart. Check cameras at midday only.
5. Hunt with 2 ozonics and try never to let my scent go into sanctuary
6. Only let my son and kids shoot does off plot during youth weekend. That will end when he turns 16
7. Shoot does on property lines and have designated doe stands
8. I've learned to stay in the stands till it's really dark before leaving. This doesn't seem to spook deer as much
9. Sit all day and don't track deer during daylight during opening weekend gun season
10. This year I am going to hunt Redneck's and logging roads more and try to hunt in the woods less
11. I try to limit 1-2 sits per stand a year
12. Limiting number of of hunters on main farm at one time
Anyone have any other practices to limit pressure?
