RE: New access to neighbors patch - Aerial and Topo - How to hunt?
I'd have a stand on the back side of the lake behind the house. A great spot for catching them coming down off the ridge to get a drink and head to the apples in the afternoon. Use the lake as a funnel and let your scent blow out over it so they don't bust ya. That is my first thought.
If you wanted to be real sneaky you could use a small boat or canoe to cross the lake and sneak up the shore to your stand and the deer would never know you were there.
