Default RE: Getting your land ready

For me, it's tough to say exactly what will work best for you this year and next without seeing the property.

It sounds like you at least have deer on the property (which is better than a lot of places I've hunted).

I might suggest spending a couple hunts in each stand (depending on the wind), both in the afternoon and morning if possible. Even if you are not within bow range during these hunts, hopefully you can pattern when and where they are moving.

Youhad mentioned there was only acorns for food. I think deer prefer acorns over crops. They usually hit the crop and cut crop fields only after the acorns are gone.

Anyway, good luck and congrats on getting some private land to hunt on!
