Cahaba SMZ Question - 10/18/17 10:16 PM
I’m going to have just enough time to go in blind at Cahaba Friday evening. I thought about trying to find an oak dropping in one of the SMZs left where most of the hardwoods have been removed (which seems to be everywhere in Cahaba). I figure this might help my chances since other areas I hunt have oaks for miles and miles. Anyways, I’m trying to narrow down where to go using Google Earth. My question is, if there is a SMZ through a 1 or 2 year old clearcut, a SMZ running through thick but young pines, or a SMZ running through more mature pines, do you think one area would hold more deer than the other? Maybe there are too many other variables to consider.
