Hey all -
I recently purchased and moved onto some property in a rural area outside of Tulsa. I have 2.5 acres that backs up to a few hundred acres of woods that I am allowed to hunt on, although not exclusively. My goal is it use the land behind me to my advantage and hopefully draw some deer out of it in addition to hunting the acreage on foot. No time to plant a food plot obviously, and I'm not sure I ever will as we have other plans for the property.
I have some decent trees that I plan on putting my stand on. My first thought is to lay some acorn rage or c'mere dere down in front of a trail cam and see if there's anything in the area. Thinking this is wiser than immediately investing in a feeder. Plus, I'm not made of money. Can anyone offer some advice on how to draw deer into the property? If they are there, will the stuff I lay down be enough to draw them? Thanks in advance!
