Hey guys,

Just got in here to work and off the phone with my brother, we are both pretty pumped about this opportunity, not to mention the landslie about1/2 way between where he livesand I live..so itsa perfect meeting ground for us to hunt together as well.

I appreciate all the comments and advice...and the votes of confidence. I agree I should be able to get a more consistent pattern on a buck especially if he has a solid early season food source he likes...

My plans are to get down their asap and do some shed hunting, looking like this weekend. These guys own so much land there is no way I can cover it all but for now I will just get down there, have Buck show me around and then start in scouting/sheddingit ... I know there are some hardcore shed hunters down there that probably have already picked a lot of it over pretty good..

The country itself consists of rolling hills (the farmable land)littered withdeep canyons and a lot of the fields they farm are butted up against timber patches..
Getting to hunt farmland whitetailsreally excites me, Iknow patterning a buck on a solid food source will be easier if I can find an area that isnt getting to much pressure during early archery season.. But finding a buck and killing him is too different things..

again who knows.....until I get down there this spring and then in the summer toscout and feel things out and see how much and where the hunting pressure will come from.. The genetics and feed are there.... thats what I do know..

I found out last night the Idaho state archery nontypical came from this area too..

Funny how farm country and big bucks always seem to hand in hand.. they have the groceries!

I will keep you all posted, this is going to be a breath of fresh air ... dont get me wrong I still love hunting these mountains.. too...and always will continue too.
