I have found the Honey Hole!
 

Yep. I got permission to hunt 100 acres surrounded by a creek but then surrounded by homes and housing developments.
I got in there last night and saw 9 does and one BIG BOY!!!! No shot on the big boy, but he wasn't the least bit nervous about trotting through the field next to me and checking things out.
I had all the shots I wanted on the does, but thought maybe he'd come just 30yds closer.
He was a good 8 pointer and I'd guess about 16 to 18 inches wide.
(Hey for my neck of the woods, those kind of bucks just ain't seen.)

Not bad for my first experience in a new place! I set up in a patch of woods between 2 hay fields and the does were crossing from one field to another right in front of me!!

When I first read the title I thought, what the hell you doing in PA...lol

I love hunting woodlots like you just mentioned farm....it offers up some great opportunities but also offers up additional challanges. Any chance of a topo/ aerial of it for some pointers.

Good luck.

Upon closer inspection of this land.................I can no longer call it the Honey Hole.

I was checking some stand placements today and across the creek all you can see are houses, except for one area. I go down there and this stench hits me. Yep, it's right across the creek from a sewer treatment plant.[:'(] No need to worry about scent elimination anymore huh?

The deer don't seem to mind it though, according to all the tracks,trails and other sign. But I wonder if I could stand hunting there?

RE: I have found the Honey Hole!
 

Should be some big bucks there with all the "fertilizer" huh??

RE: I have found the Honey Hole!
 

Well....It brings a whole new meaning to playing the wind. Now...you just have to hunt when it's blowing TOWARDS the treatment plant!:D
