Help me make a succes for my Father.

I have managed to acquire a lease for the 2008/2009 seasons down here in Florida. My father in law had to let his lease go up in south Georgia due to the fact that he has a degenerative nerve disease that is starting to really affect him. I am allowed to put up permanent stands and I would like to build him a blind that sits maybe 6 to 8 feet up and put maybe a ground blind on it or make it out of something for him to sit in. I have already placed a couple of feeders on the area that I have but I am willing to place more wherever it would be functional for my father in law. The thing to consider is a walk through the woods is going to be hard to almost impossible. He LIVES to hunt deer and I will do everything in my power to make sure he gets in at least one more season with his crossbow, muzzleloader, and gun. Bearing that in mind as a deer hunter I suck. I have no idea how to identify good “funnels” or trails or any of that stuff. I am a pig hunter and deer just are not my thing. The area that I have leased has deer galore. I see sometimes 20+ deer every single time I am there but I do not know how to ambush them. With hogs you just wait for the feeder to go off and put the pointy end of the arrow through its lungs but I seem to think deer are a bit harder than that. I have put this map up here and would greatly appreciate it if you would take the time to point out what areas you feel would be good spots for a stand. Please help me make this a successful year for my father in law.

Thank you

Good luck and good hunting
