Both of these places are in heavily deer populated parts of the state. The first link was in the Newark area but as you move south you get into some up and down parts of the state. The second place in Logan is some serious up and down so be in shape. I understand how you feel when you make a decision fast but once you roll with it dont look back. Let us know which one you pick!

If I understand you correctly, are you talking about "up and down" meaning hilly terrain?
If so, I will be stand hunting and other than to and from the stands I won't be affected by the hills
Or
Do do you mean sitting for hours without many deer sightings, which in turn means, your
buttocks needs to be in shape?
* So far, from some research, the preferred method is to sit on corn piles, as the deer will rather have an easy meal
instead of digging though snow and frozen earth to get to the food source??? All the outfitters mentioned that it's hard
to guess which trails the deer will come down if your on a crop field, but with the corn piles it's a little more stream lined,
as one can imagine.
Any experienced late season hunters agree or disagree? It certainly makes sense, just not my style of hunting,
nor am I familiar with this corn pile thing.... I'm actually leaning more towards the outfitter that doesn't put corn piles out.
Just stands set on his 1/4-1/2 acre crop fields, just sounds more natural.[&:]
The other way sounds like fishing in a barrel, to an extent, my .02 cents!
