I am very fortunate. Myparents just moved into a house inBradford County, PA. Next to their house, 2 other members of my family own2 other houses all next to eachother on a dirt road that is a big loop in a very small town.

One of the housesbelongs to my great aunt, but now no longer is occupied since she is in an elderly care facility. It is a 8 bedroom house with 12 beds in it and is absolutely beautiful with fireplaces in almost all the bedrooms, and working electric, plumbing, and cable TV.........all on the end of a dirt road that shoots off the main loop road the rest of my family lives on. There is only about 85 acres between the different members of our family, however this is a wooded patch that serves as a travel corridor between major agricultural areas and open fields. It holds more deer than your average 80 acre patch. It has multiple ponds, an apple orchard, a swamp, many mature hardwood patches (white and red oaks), as well as a ton of cedars and other softwoods in the swamp. We also have access to another 200-300 acres from the surrounding neighbors that is neverhunted during bow season, and very lightly during rifle season by guys that show up at 10am and hunt till noon.

This is the first year that this will serve asour camp, and a place to stay for when family and friends come to hunt or visit.No one has really hunted it for probably 10+ years, but my scouting so far has shown a LOT of deer, and about 3 bucks that would qualify as a "shooter" in my book.The next door neighbor also owns probably 150 or so acres, and he has tons of food plots over there, and has harvested a 17 point nontypical and huge 140" class 8 point in the last 2 years. I also hunted it during spring turkey this season and it is absolutely loaded with turkeys, there are 10-15 mature toms that are on my game cameras almost every day.
