Ron, I grew up in Altoona, Pa and went to Penn State, so I hunted Blair, Centre and Huntington counties a lot through my late 20s, before moving to MD. In the areas I hunted water was rarely a problem, so I never really hunted next to it. Obviously you know your area better then I, but I definably had my best luck hunting oak flats and ridges in predominately wooded areas. I don’t know if you are hunting farm land or not. If so the dear still like to hit any oak flats between their bedding are and the crops. I had a property that I had pretty well figured out and then the owner did a large selective cut and a smaller clear cut area. Even though the area of my best stand was not touched it changed everything. Definitely a downer when you realize your old reliable stands aren’t going to work anymore. At least your situation is probably a one year event. The good news is you get to explore some new territory. Good luck. Harry.
