Hello fellow hunters,
My wife and I just moved to Caledonia, MN in SE MN. We are renting a house that has some great hunting land right behind it. But I am a bit confused on where I should set up my stands this fall for bow and muzzleloader seasons.
Here is how the land lays out. It consists of alot of rolling hills, with clumps of trees that are probably about 110 yds long by 15-20 yds wide. With corn and alfalfa surrounding the all of these groups of trees. Here is my question. Do I focus most of my stands on the edges of the trees in order to watch the activity coming from the other clumps of trees or do I put most of my stands in the tree clumps? I am starting to get things ready to roll here, and would like to get a couple stands set up before Sept. It also helped that I saw two nice bucks about 150 yds from my house tonight. Just looking for some advice on how to tackle this new land? What are some of the things to look for when you are hunting new land? There are some oaks amongest the trees so that should help.
What are anybody' s thoughts on using a blind during muzzleloader season? Should I get the blind set up here soon, so the deer grow accustomed to it. Well getting a bit long winded hopefully someone is out there to give me some advice.
