One lease that I have is basically all cut-over with a decent 20 ac block of hardwoods that borders the cutdowns, then there is a road that circles an equally sized thicket then a strip of timber about 30 yds wide, 250 yds long, it splits the two cutovers. In this strip of timber is a creek with water in it always. The back of my line is bordered by huge hardwoods, I can;t hunt those, but I can get real close. My first sit in the strip of woods produced a nice buck for me. The second trip to the lease was in the stand of oaks and that produced another nice buck, but it was in two seperate places. Can I almost bank on these two spots producing bucks every year? These are really the only places to hang stands. I can hang em in a few places within the areas, but that's about it. Or was this a fluke? I walked in and scouted with stand and bow in hand found great sign and set up. Can I vision a pattern with this or is it just one time deals, I sat in both areas again and saw one deer.

The ability to get close to game remains the essence of all bowhunting today.
I get one or two bucks and pass on several every year on the same three stands that are all within 100 yards of each other. The bucks just keep coming through no matter how much I hunt the area or the other 5 guys that periodically show and use my stands
