Stand Placement
 
My family just bought a house along with 30 acres, in prime whitetail country. In the back of the lot the woods form an L shape which makes it a great inside corner stand sight.But right now the deer are nonpressured andtend to go out into the field insteadofstaying inside the woods till it getsdark. So my question isshould i placea stand over the field so i can hunt the field orshould i put it in theinside corner. Once we move in i will be riding an ATV alot so that should probably influenceweither or notthe deergo in the field. Sorry it's so long,Thanks for your help

It's very likely your ATV riding can push the deer out all together, it's hard to say.

Also, your likely to run into quite a few hunters the first year with a change of land ownership your prolly pressure on many sides with only 30 acres...keep the ATV to a minimal and keep the scouting up, the deer will let you know where to place a stand.

Let the deer tell you where to put your stand. They haven't read all the mag. articles about those inside corners.If you see them using one trail more than others. That is the spot. Justtry not to disturb the area too much in setting up your stand. And get it up early, Not 2 days before the season opens.

I am worried about the ATV scaring deer away, but i just can't resist the temptation to ride it. I've already been trying to receive permission from surrounding properties to hunt, but they all seem to be anti-hunters. Oh well, i probably won't gun hunt on the land just so they don't have another reason to gripe. Not a big loss since i have almost completly gave up gun hunting.Luckily none of them mind me riding my ATV so i don't have to worry about that.

Don't worry i'm planning on putting this treestand up within a couple days. I've already scouted the land and i feel like this may be a good spot.
