You guys can draw all the pretty little dots you want on this place and they don't mean a thing until you walk the ground. Then you decide. When I walk through a place the first time I'm looking at sign and trees to use for my climber. I never have to walk it again. I just go where I saw it and hunt. Some times a little fine tuning is in order but usually a place like this that's so restrictive and open is a piece of cake to hunt. The downside of it is that it's usually a feast or famine. They're where you are or the other side of the farm. That's why your route and impact getting in and out is so critical. Deer in these tight confines are easily pushed to the next farm. It's best to inch in on them and not go for the gusto all at once unless you can get in totally undetected.
Dave I could not agree more, if your read any of my notesI used a John Boat to get to most of my stands. I have an eletric trolling motor and zipped down the river. I sneak right up in the tree undetected, it really has woked out.
The picture is just a fun activity, I have hunted here my whole life. The part about pushing deer would you send a note to my Dad and Uncle. I have said this the last 21 years to them. They just do not get it. Feast or Phanom statement is right on, you either have a pile of deer or none. All depeands on how they are moving. One thing I have learned is crossing the river is NOT an issue for them. Move back and forth more than I would have ever thought.
