Field runs through greenfield. Shoot house is on the far end of field. There is generally always deer in field. Is it better when the wind is at your back to park sufficiently before the field and just walk through spooking deer or is it better to drive through spooking deer and walk back to shoot house? And don’t say move the shooting house. This is going to be a south wind field regardless

Drive through and walk back IF you can’t approach from downwind to begin with.

Id go around and slip in the backdoor

The only way to do that is through a cut over the rabbits avoid

If the deer are fairly unpressured and experience vehicles regularly driving through may not bother them too much if you just drive through.

Dang - tuff setup

But I have had to walk thru fields before to get to stand - just not ideal - and we could usually beat the deer in - I always tried to beat the deer there - hopefully your field not one where they there by 2:00

And then u run them out when u leave - I would reduce my pressure on that type set up

I would drive thru and scare out and walk back to stand on the way in - that bettr than bust by walk

But leave your vehicle up wind? I haven’t set the shooting house yet. But i need a south wind feild bad!

Jump out of c130..in ded of night…squirrel suit in..deploy parachute..land on roof..eat potted meat an crackers..til daylight..choot all deerz with mini gun..pick best ones an post in team thread🇺🇸

I always pull into the field with my truck and run them out. They seem to come back in pretty quick. Walk in and they start snorting and raising cane

Stand on each end for the win. I have a field like this and I hate it cause if you walk through it the deer come in and walk right to the rd and smell it to see if we walked in or not. I would drive in if I had to and drop corn each time I drove through.

I'm driving through. Deer will be back soon.

The BEST answer is to cut a trail though the clearcut with a machete. I haven't found a clearcut that I couldn't cut a trail through but many times I am leaving a pretty decent blood trail by the end.

I would have to see it but I don't like that setup at all so instead of telling you to move the shooting house I'll just say this is NOT a South Wind field.

Are you seeing more deer in there on a South wind or something?

Buy a ebike and come in hot on your approach into the field. Drive bike to the base of shooting house and hid it in the bushes. The deer will literally run off not knowing what you are due to speed and shape. They will be back within 30 minutes looking for you. I have done this numerous times over the last few years and seems to work out best over the other two options you listed.

That actually sounds pretty good and pretty cool

Not seeing land hard to say but sounds like shooting house is on wrong side. I also know guys that hav a shooting house in each side of field to be versatile w wind - i hav not done that

On my small field at Clarke county - if I stayed on The road - I would hav to walk thru field. I cut a short cut trail thru woods that lead me right to blind - I never step in field unless to retrieve a deer r feed

I just need another south wind field. Only have one field set up kinda for south wind and need options. I’m afraid you may be correct I like sqeakys suggestion

The best option is not to make it a south wind field.

Next best is cut a trail through the cut over.

Then drive thru.

I would not walk thru.

Sounds like you need one of those Mexican drug tunnels..

Move the shooting house
