I've been hanging stands for a few months now.
Set up the off season feeders. Locked some cameras to trees. Cut a few trails for deer and more stand access. Created a few funnels and posted the heck out our land.
I'll be knocking on doors as well..I have a few places in mind that I want to hunt. 1 is actually part of a land trust, no hunting permits issued for this comming season and my nieghbors house/land borders this piece. So, I figure I can slip in there on the property line. There are some MONSTER bucks there because no one bowhunts them..and by the time shotgun season rolls in, this area is a SWAMP...You cant even walk it...The water rises and creates like a land bridge about 100yards wide in the center of the woods..It would be a great funnel to hunt...but there is NO WAY to get to it..
Thought about a canoe, though...But still dont think it will work. Bry, you've gotta see this place..It blows away any land I have ever hunted.
You literally have until about the end of October before its swamped up....My friend found the biggest shed he has ever found, in any state thathe hunts,in these woods. It was only one side but it measured out at 93" !!!!!!!!!!!!....6 points. g2 was heavily split and he had a monster droptine between his g2 and g3.
That sounds like a honeyhole there. Especially after the flooding. A single funnel like that surrounded by water would just have to have tons of travel during the rut. You're a former HALO rat why don't you just drop in. LOL There has to be a way in there.
