RE: Steering Deer with natural barriers
Yep I agree Gregh.
I have a few friends who use the wire. I am planting a huge plot behind my funnel I made. We logged that woods out 6 years ago. The loggers left that trunk; so I cut trunk in half and dragged over with my guns[:-]

So fences are bad when people pay to have them steer animals their way but good when we do it ourselves?
And cornfields,apple trees, and food plots are not bait.
Interesting.

My favorite way of doing this is to hire a crew of people to quickly install a high fence around a huge bucks bedding area while he's sleeping. That way I can go in at my leisure and hunt him.

No need to get all extreme
My point is that in fenced areas the only fence a deer knows and effects his movement is the one in front of him...........when he gets to it he either turns around or walks along it looking for an opening..........What happens when a deer gets to a fence in the woods??..........same thing right?

I guess that the point of this thread is that there are ways to place an obstacle on a deer trail in an effort to cause them to detour closer to your stand for whatever reason.
Another way to alter deer movement is to ( if you have permission) tie the top wire to the next wire down on a fence, creating a low spot. Very simple and extremely effective.
BTW, I thought you were being extreme with your comparison so I went one better.
