I have a new hunting lease this year that is a cattle farm. I have been putting up some stands, getting some corn out and working some trail cams. Lucky for me I got to see where the last guy on the lease had his stands. I'm not sure what he did to get the boot. Anyway, most of his stand locations were behind fences off the main cow pasture. They all have good sign and I'm seeing good deer on the cam. He had one stand in a section of pasture that the cows can get to. I really like the location because it is on high ground, there are three cattle ponds you can see and some oaks. I put out a cam with corn and a trophy rock by a big oak. I left it for about two weeks. I have no deer pics on that location. The cows ate the corn after about two days. The trophy rock didn't make it another week. I have plenty of deer on camera 300 - 400 yards to the North and South of this location. Do you think the cows are territorial and keeping the deer out of the pasture? Maybe the deer are just staying in the woods eating new growth? Maybe the deer didn't find the corn before the cows was the only issue? Who has experience to share hunting cattle farms?
