It took me several years to hook up with the spots I have now. I was lucky when I started hunting to have access to land that did allow me to see some deer starting out. Through trial and error I have been able to trade up to land with very little hunting preasure and if you do it right the deer won't change their habits. They do the same thing on a regular bases.

This year I had more time on my hand so I processed my buck into sausage instead of giving him away. I enjoyed what little I kept. Next year I plan on doing more but I am basically going to raise the critters myself. I'm going to do what a farmer does without the farm. I plan on putting up a feeder in the middle of my target range. All through the summer I will practice shooting my decoys but come hunting season and I will shoot the deer as I have time to process them. It's very effective if you want the deer meat to eat.

Good luck.
