Help me plan for next year. Inside the yellow line is what I’m working with (40 acres). The blue lines are creeks that hole water all year. The gray is the roads. We own all the property to the east and south but other family members hunt it. Where would y’all set up bow stands ?

I’m surprised nobody has asked about prevailing wind directions. It doesn’t matter where deer are moving if you can’t access your stands without blowing deer out. Forty acres makes it that much worse. I have 80 acres here at home and if you want to see deer you’d better be stealthy and never, ever discount the wind direction, even getting into or out of your stand. Even when I had a much bigger place I mostly hunted the outside edges of it, that way I could manage my scent to my advantage. Good luck !

How wide & how long is the property? Are you going to put up feeder pen(s), or just hunting stands? Tripods or box blind(s)?Last edited by mikemorvan; 12-03-2019, 07:57 PM.
