Best exit and entrance tactic?
 

We have a new piece of property that sits North and South. Most of it is tillable with some nice foodplots. My question is how should we enter and exit without disturbing as little wildlife as possible? Get in early and leave late? This is in big time farm country, what about have a truck come and pick up the hunter(s)? Anyone ever used any of these? Thoughts?

Thanks ahead of time for your input!

HALO drop.;)

Really, it's yourspot so get out there and scout it. Nobody can tell you how best to enter and exit if they've never even seen the lay of the land, much lesswithout knowingthe active game trails.

I had a place once....If you parked your truck there, no matter how well it was concealed, you would barely see deer. But if someone dropped you off, you go to the stand running and screaming and see plenty of deer.

It was strange...they just knew

But like Arthur said, none of us know your land like you do;)

True points.

But I guess what I am asking is what tactics have you used entering and exiting your stand sites that proved successful?;)

Rubber boots wind in your face in the dark no noise not threw where there feeden no flash light if so red

Get out really early in the morning. If you have to walk near their feeding areas you have to walk in quietly in the morning. I have this same issue in the thumb of Michigan. Avoid all trucks. They know you're there....If you can enter in the morning through the woods not to disturb deer coming off the feeding fields I would try that too....Good Luck

Stay away from the bedding areas is kind of common sense when walking in for the evening hunts. When hunting in the mornings try to stay in the woods more if you can, deer are usually feeding out in the fields before day light breaks.

Arthur was thinking along my lines.

Haven't even read your post yet, but the title said "boat" to me... :)

OK, thanks guys!!

How early do you think is practical? 1 hour? 2 hours? Hope it is not the latter! ;)

What about leaving at night? Stay later?

Best advice for any whitetail hunting property!

Half hour before light in your spot all settled down and ready to go should be fine, its what I do anyway. When leaving at night don't leave to early (so many chicken ****s do this and it will screw up your area) To be legal about it some states say you can hunt 1/2 hour after sunset and thats it, not sure what all states do on this. I always leave when I can't see the spot I'm shooting for being I'm a traditional bow hunter and not using sights. If I have deer in front of me when its time to go I'll sit in the stand and wait them out rather then spooking them and showing them where I'm at in the woods, they remember stuff like this.

I had a good stand once. I called it the "Magic Apple Tree." I Harvested (8) eight pointers there in as many years. I would enter before daylight by walking down a shallow stream which was flanked by a step bank on one side and a heavy crab apple thicket on the other side.

Several years ago high winds came through the area and downed several trees making the area too difficult to walk through.....

at least an 1 1/2 hours before first light so your scent dissapates even with rubber boots leave those boots outside buried in dirt or rotten leave s a month before you hunt and leave them in a bag when you drive there and never walk on tar road with them.Thats me i was lazy one time and didnt follow my own rules and a 10 was coming perfect and smelled my foot tracks reared up and split thats with rubber boots just not cared for,not saying i didnt touch a branch but i where rubber gloves now to lesson learned
