I can go through there unfettered, KWilson. Anyone can. It's just old farmland. Would it do any good to walk it during the season, though? It might just make me even MORE frustrated!....lol

I KNOW there are deer in there. I KNOW there are good bucks in there. There has to be. Where would YOU live? They have it all in there. What I have is a great little staging area that sees the does come and go as they please. They move in and out of that area....because they feel safe, there. I'm contemplating NOT ever taking a doe from there, again (for this reason). I've taken a few from there in the past....including 2 this season (1 for me and the one Matt/PA took). I'd like for them to still think they were safe, there, always.

I just have to trust it, I guess. The up side to this area is I don't have to worry about gun hunters (except the poaching neighbors that WILL hutn it when they want to).

I'm trying to decide if I can use the gun hunters on the new lands to MY advantage. I'm trying to figure that out.
