I have right now 3 new farms of several hundred acres each to hunt. I hunted one of them last fall for 2 days and shot a nice 8 point. I'll be spending all summer scouting and glassing deer in new territory. There are others I can get but these are all out the front door, the back door and one across the river in the NY Southern zone. That one has land probably no one has walked on since I was a kid and hunted it. It just doesn't get hunted,... EXCEPT for some jack lighters on the fringes at night. The interior is untouched.

Went out scoutn this past Feb. Found a couple of new spots to set up for next yr, & not 2 far of a walk, about 100yds. We'll see how it pans out. I did find some private land next 2 public that the deer like much better. Haven't seen anyone hunt'n it. Maybe I can try & get in there.

I have located one new spot, next to a field on a cedar ridge with white oaks an red oaks in the back ground. I do not think anyone has hunted in a while, could not locate any deer stands.There was some old scrapesan rubs near by,will hunttowards the middle of oct. hopefully.

No news spots for me, andI dont know how much hunting I'm gonna be able to do next year. Going away to college and all, its gonna be tought to get back home to hunt. On the plus side I should be able to shoot w/ fellow HNI member Rick James, as the shop he works at is 5 miles from the campus.

The lady that has been cutting my hair for years tells me last time I sat in the chair.........."Oh yea, I forgot.......my parents said you could hunt their land if you want". [
] A little more chatting revealed that the property borders a 265 acre farm and they have known the farmer for 40+ years so that should be a slam dunk. It pays to chat hunting
Another local property opened up as well but it is a weird spot where deer only sneak through and it gets hunted a TON.........still though, it is close to home and I will surely give it a few sits.
I also joined a local club that owns it's own 20 acres with about 100+ of private land (huntable) bordering it...........and about 10,000 acres of state land within a 20 minute radius.
