Just moved into a rental, 5 acre parcel in 454. I see deer every morning and evening on the property. 2 individual does, 1 with a single fawn, and another with twins. I haven't yet seen a buck, but have seen them on neighboring properties. There is a major trail intersection at the far end of the property in a heavily forested corner that fans out to a large overgrown horse pasture where I see all of the deer.
Question:
1) Is it too late to set up a food plot or bait station to attract the bucks in the area? My fear is I will only be feeding the does and fawns and rarely condition a buck to change his travel patterns.
If there is time, any specific products to recommend that would entice a buck to use the area come September and later?
2) Stand location: Edge of timber in the middle of the fanned out trails or right at the trail intersection where they all combine?
