Good question NEW!! I have hunted the same farm for 20 yrs and I worked the farm as well, that has helped a lot. I have people that that taught me the basics, but once I learned the basics it was all me so far. Im not saying I know it all, I just know my woods and know them well. I don't recall anyone that has changed how I do it, I just learned on my own really. Not saying that I can't learn from others, but i just haven't had the opp yet. I have made changes, but it has only come through years of hunting not b/c someone pointed me in the direction. Im open to it all though!!
Having hunted the same farm for 20 years it makes sense that you would have that place pegged. If you want a pretty good morsel of knowledge read GregHs' post from today, good stuff there.
If you want to try something new don't forget about this bow season and the possible VA hunters bowhunt. I got a sweet piece of low pressured public land (roughly 3200 acres) that could be fun to learn. 4 points per side antler restrictions have been in place there for a few seasons and it doesn't see much pressure during the bow season. Lots of oaks and a river runs through it. I'm just saying.
