Default RE: Need some help on hunting a new property

I went and walked the land today. The Property is great. It is all wooded, which I don't usually hunt. It is basically on the top of a mountain. The main portion of the property is a small valley with a small stream running the length of it. The property does have two stands on a ridge overlooking the valley. They are old, but seemed sturdy. The valley is divided up by small ridges and points. On one point there was a bedding area. I found two rubs, and several sets of prints and droppings. I also found a path, which is pretty much the only way into the valley. on the farthest ridge there is a small ground blind that is still usable. To the right of this is a fence line that is the property line about 150 yds. behind it is the path in, and behind that is a cliff that only has one point that could be walked up surrounding that is a rockslide that feeds the small stream in the valley. There are places for a ground blind on the rocks. This has a relatively open view of the stream, and the valley. The biggest problem is that there is very little room to shoot. there is not much underbrush, but there is a lot of small trees that block shooting lanes. There are a good number of oak trees, but it is too late in the year for those. There are also rubs all along the path in. I was told that the owner has seen a twelve pointer a couple of times from a distance. That is unheard of around here. Thanks for all of the imput, and I hope I gave everybody a decent picture of what it looks like. I will be allowed to hunt this property anytime according to the owner, and he has decided to pull it off of the market which is very good news to me.
