Thanks for the tips. This is my first try going solo. The only other time I hunted was on a private club as a guest. They had a rule that charged you $1000.00 if you shot any buck under 140. I din't see many deer, and I was terrified to pull the trigger on one for fear of the fine. The place I'm hunting is about 2500 acres of hardwoods and creek beds. This is Wilson Shoals WMA. I'm tempted to try a pop-up blind, as I'm leery of trying to get up in a tree with a stand if I'm the only one around. Thanks for the satllite map tip. I had no idea that stuff was out there. I appreciate it very much. I'm going to do a little scouting this thursday & friday to see what's the deal on site selection. Take care, Ed.
