RE: deer to far to shoot
Food plots.
I have used Imperial No-Plow clover at some of my stands and it works well. All you need is a rake, some miracle grow and water every so often until it gets going. You can start planting about a month before season and it should be ready about the time you're ready to hunt. If you can get a tiller to your spot in the Summer, Mossy Oak Biologic works great.
