Default RE: Am I "selling out"?

Jeff here are my thoughts....


Your land you have now (at home) has been great to you. It's where you learned how to hunt. You have a huge abundance of deer, and have been fortunate enough to take 2 mature bucks.

This new land sounds like a great place, and probably holds some great bucks. Only time, and trail cameras will tell whether that is true or not.

It has already been mentioned, but if you "occasionally" hunt your spots near your house, and this new tract of land, your deer sightings will probably rise. Being able to alternate hunting spots will in turn, keep the hunting pressure down. Especially if no one else has access to this new spot.

You can use the new place to really go after a buck and use your spots at home, to take some does. It will be easier for you to hunt the spots closer to home after work..or like you told me when I was there, before work on some days.

You can also use your "home" spots for guys you invite to hunt with you, to help you put a dent in the does.
