Elk Neck never really had a lot of hunters. But there is a vetting process (kind of) for the number of hunters they allow on any given day. Way back on the main trail going in is a lone apple tree among the oaks and pines. There are always deer around that tree. May not be any large bucks in those woods but if you hunt for food, then it's a pretty good spot to hunt. Most of the deer come from the little cut below the tree. They will pop up from behind the tree and it's kinda like Whack-A-Mole. Makes for a unique hunt. You don't get to spot the deer walking into your kill zone, they kinda just appear. You wait until their shoulders come into view and pull the trigger.
The biggest problem with hunting that spot is the distance you have to haul the carcass back to your truck.
