I like a thick edge, gives deer close security cover. As for you who think deer will come on out if they can see one, well if they don't see one while scanning the whole field, they certainly won't come out. With the feathering, at least they are forced to the edge to see if anything is out there. This can present shot opportunities. I for sure don't want a deer to stand 50 yards back in the timber and be able to see the whole field. Now if you have a stand back there, well then it really doesn't matter, does it?
