I have 2 different leases. On the first, the pines have been thinned and you can see for days. I can get a climber on some of the trees but its normally at the smallest adjustment. This lease is on very hilly terrain and there are usually hardwoods left in the draws. There is also about a 600acre clear cut that adjoins the pines and it was planted last year. There are numerous roads and fire breaks on the property. Also, another point worth mentioning is this club is predominately run with dogs and I prefer to stand or still hunt.

The other, I'm not sure of the age of the trees, but they are about 25 to 30 feet high and very thick and not big enough for a climber. We have several ladder stands and shooting houses, but they are all on the roads. I took a doe during bow season from a hardwood creek bottom, but all the acorns are gone and with the hunting pressure the deer seem to just hold tight to the thick stuff. Any tips on getting in there with them? It is not legal to bait in Alabama, but we can and do have green plots. Any suggestions? Thanks..........GB
