When it rains.....it pours....
 

I gained access to 130 more acres yesterday.....to deer hunt. I was hoping to get to turkey hunt there....but I'll take what I can get.;)

Nobody's hunted it for several years.....and "most" of it is within the triangle of land that I cite as being about a little over a sq. mi.......and the herd I hunt.

The area I'm MOST interested in is just outside this area, though. I FINALLY get to hunt ag crops and bedding areas. The ag crops are "just" outside the boundaries of the property I have permission to hunt.....but mere feet. I'll be looking for the travel routes to and from here.

This is about 1.5 miles from my house......and about .5 mi. from my in laws. I've even found an access from another road.....and I'll be knocking on some doors, soon.....seeking access permission to simply park and walk-thru.

Another dimension.......should be fun. With this news I'm torn as to what to do witht he other land, this fall. I don't have time to scout and hunt all these area......but it would be neat to treat the family land like a DIY and do some 3 day-ers up there.

We'll see.....but it's great to have options......and new challenges......and heck.....NEW DEER;)

Yes it will man now can you pass me some luck on getting a few more spots.:)
Thanks!

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

Congrats Jeff. I found out the land I was turkey hunting on is open to me for deer as well. I saw some great deer sign when I was there. its 4 hours from home but at least I have a place to go now. And there are some big boys out there. The owner,(Caries boss), and his hunting buddies go out for a week of deer camp each year. That leaves the place to me the rest of the year. 300 acres with little pressure.:D

Way to go, Greg.

How'd your turkey hunt go?

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

Congrats Bud, You must have a way with the land owners, thats for sure, enjoy.

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

Imagine my luck......

I go and finish the minor repairs to his fence, yesterday.....and go up to his house. They invite me in....and he notices my DUKE mock T.

He graduated from Duke......lol.:D I had no idea.

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

So If I wore my UNC T one big steel toe boot out the door?

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

Or a pencil to the eye, Tony.;)

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

LOL :D

Do they do that caboose for BB games? ( I think thats was what it was when you went for football)

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

You're mistaking Duke for Univ. of SC.;)

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

Congrats Jeff ..... I'm moving south....:D

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

I meant SC, sorry about that.

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

Only thing that scares me is.......I may miss an opportunity on another good buck (relative tot his area).....trying to find another one. I have areas that have produced. I'm just looking for different deer, I guess.

The part that intrigues me is the different styles I'll get introduced to. I've never been able to hug a bedding area real tight during the rut. I'll ge tthat chance, now,.....if I choose to. I'll also have access to trails leading to a destination food source. NEVER have I had that for ag crops.

If nothing else....it'll be new scenery.;)

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

New scenery always lights a fire under my arse.

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

Sure you do, you must spend ten hours a week on here, spend it scouting.;)

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

Charlie....

I have, now.....600 or so acres I can hunt. I don't have time to scout it all....given I have two weekend days a week and a family.

When you go from hunting 80 acres to having access to that many.....it's a bit overwhelming. One parcel (the largest) is an hour away from home, too.

I think I'd rather learn them one property at a time. I'll probably spend more time on the local new find.......because it's convenient....and I KNOW a little about it. I'll be in it this weekend, for sure. I can shed hunt and look for some stand sites in a day, probably. It's gonna take a season or two to "learn" it.

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

Piece of cake.:D Do alot of the work right on your computer. Seriously you can save your self a lot of time using aeiral and topo's.

It sure will. I enjoy it all most as much as the hunt.

I've beenscouting on a 15,000 WMA off and on for about four years now, one of these day's I'm going to actually hunt it.

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

Oh boy you think you wondered if you were sitting in the right spot before.:DYou might want to line up a therapist now, for the upcoming season.

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

You should have seen me at home, last night.....doing just that. I had the satellite image software on overdrive, last night.

I'll post up a photo of the land as soon as I figure out how.....and let everyone do one of those stand placement things!:D

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

LOL Charlie! :D

Jeff .... think about the probability of a Booner living SOMEWHERE in that new found acreage!!!! I'm excited for ya AND I EXPECT lots of pictures :)

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
 

Thats aesome Jeff. Should be a fun 08 season. Now if you dont mind, toss me the lucky horseshoe!!

RE: When it rains.....it pours....
