First up this is about red deer in aus not whitetail, but there's no international section and the methods I'm thinking of is probably best suited to whitetail.
Pretty much the deer feed in a paddock and at first light cross onto public land that doesn't allow hunting. I know where they normally cross there's kind of a pinch point thats about 50m wide.
The problem is they head up the gully to the fence and the morning thermal always pushes downhill I.e. in their face. Because of this I've never been able to setup for them in a stand and my archery method has been to watch them from the other side of the paddock till they move to cover, leg it over without spooking roos and emus and try to stalk them before they make it to the fence. Only ever worked once and I fluffed the shot.
I've drawn a rough sketch of the layout, just curious how would you whitetail guys hunt these deer with a bow in this situation?
