Why would anyone hunt the middle of the property on opening morning? I hate running deer off our property, or educating them and it's never a bad idea to keep an eye on your neighbors. Safety is my number one priority, so I don't allow anyone to get down and walk around or look for a deer untill everyone is finished hunting. Sounds to me like the deer must be plentiful where your hunting. Good hunting and stay safe.
In the center is the safest place for when the shooting starts. By "center" I mean an area that is probably 2/3's of the property and include all the places that make retrieval easiest. We stay off the property line through most of season, mainly so we don't get shot. However, we have gobs of deer that are moving off our neighbors and they congregate well away from the line. The neighbors are doing all the ATV stuff and drives and still hunting. Deer outnumber humans by a fair margin.
