Default House surrounded by Scrapes

The guy who left me sit in his little hay field Where I shot me doe is a bachelor.His place is all grown up.He never trims anything. It is in a suburban area with little gentlemen farms around it. Anyway last night I was in his little grass field and seen a huge buck come out of his yard .Went the other way.He has 12 acres of a grown up jungle and all you can see is tunnels thru it.Well this morning I sat behind his house about 30 yards in my wheelchair. At day break I seen the tall 5 foot weeds moving to the side of me about 30 yards. Seen parts of deer antlers once and a while.But it did not respond to the can.then 30 minutes later from the other side I see more tall weeds moving another buck,but to thick and it also moves toward the yard. When I left I went to the front of the yard and the yard was full of scrapes over every branch the whole way around the yard. And each scrape had a tunnel from the tall jungle leading off the yard. Quess I will set up in the guys grown up bushes around his house.would be a 20 yard shot to any scrape. NOT in the house, So dont be to hard on me. That yard is a play pen !!!!!!!!

Sounds like it is time to defend that front yard from trespassers! Sounds like a whole new hunting environment. I was wondering about your chair and if has any modifications to improve your hunting? Hope you get one of those tunnel deer.

Greavous, No mods ,except a place to store my food. I basically use the chair for comfort when I plan on sitting all day,I can move around with the aid of canes it I need to on level clean ground without falling to many times.
