NEW WOODS TRAIL.

[mneal]

I mow trails... for the deer to use and for me to get to my stands quickly and quietly. The deer are all over my trail-cams walking these mowed paths and they have been there for three years now.

Trails are great. The deer will adjust in no time and you will see more signs of them using it. Plant some clover or something like that in small section and you will find yourself setting a stand someplace along it. Good luck

Years ago I cut a trail through a mess of briars so I could get to stand quicker. Didn't take long for the deer to start using the trail also

I side with most here, I see deer using small paths I have cut on a regular basis. I have friends that cut paths and swear by hunting the path in an open spot or and entrance/exit of the path into the woods.

I think this will have much less impact on the deer than it will you. This path has now given you many more access options for hunting this land. You should be able to discover much more about the property by accessing it in new ways
