The stand I was going to looked like a nuclear bomb went off. Question is how much does this impact the deer?? I would think they came in with heavy machinery, set things ablaze and really caused a ruckus. Not sure how deer take to all that and the lingering fires/smoke.....

My phone screen does not always work right, usually a lot of misspelled words....

Just look at it this way, if you shoot one you got a fire to cook it on. It be's that way sometimes. www.sunpoolcompany.com

Saw one burning the other night in Macon county Originally Posted by Johntravis89 There is 2 different high fence. 1 small and one big! Mine was free range in the big pen and was not a breeder buck. Why does it have to be twisted around??

Deer loved walking the firelanes where the dozier ran. Hunted two stands for a week straight and cant recall not seeing a deer. Piles were smolding a week later and the deer never checked up. Almost seemed to pull them in. Saw does and bucks of diff sizes just not one big enough to tape a dirt nap

Some of the best hunting we ever had was clear cut that was burned to the dirt. Don't give up, don't ever give up!
