Ground blind brushed in x10. Get something that will hold the gun like the caldwell fieldpod so all u have to do is get in the gun and touch the trigger. As soon as you see a deer you better be making a noise to stop it. Safety off just sitting there. Id walk down the road with a machete and cut the most limiting limbs out of the way and have at it.
Give me bout 15 more minutes, I was dreamin about beavers.......... Si Robertson

a ground blind is all you need. i dont even brush them in on a road or a lane as you describe. 9 times out of 10 when they step in the road they will stop and look both ways unless they are being chased. if one steps out anything beyond 100 yards they wont even notice the blind. Ive killed a lot of deer hunting roads, fire lanes etc.
keep it down home cuz

I've killed a mess of deer on roads just like you are talking about. You need a couple of things. One, go get you an old rearview mirror at the scrap yard. Mount it on a stick, and shove it in the ground, where you can watch behind you. two, get a comfy folding chair. three, buy a good set of shooting sticks, or cut a good shooting stick.
Sit your chair right in the middle of the road. Setup your mirror and shooting sticks. If a deer sees you, they will stop and look for a little while. This gives you a chance to raise your gun and shoot. Or if you are still they will just walk on accross after a few seconds of looking. I had a guy laughing at me at the club one year, because he saw my chair setup in the middle of a thick clear cut on a road. He went on to tell me how all the deer would see me, because I was sitting in a red chair in the middle of a road. There were 4 bucks killed out of that chair that year. You could see 3-400yds in both directions. It was a great spot.

This is a true statement and I do this myself and so do other members of my club. I sit on the edge of the road but still out in the open and I have my rifle on a tripod the whole time.

My dad just had a stroke but wants to get out in the woods. The chair in the road method would be an easy way for me and him to sit together before season ends

I've laid in the prone supported position for longer than I care to remember. Even fell asleep looking down my sight picture on an M4

Thanks for the ideas. I think I'm going to try a sit in the middle of the road and find a good stick to use as a shooting stick. Sounds crazy enough to work
