Pros:
Great Habitat - Pretty decent cover with some good food sources (acorns and browse)
Natural Funnel - They either have to go thru the industrial park (parking lots and buildings) or come thru the woodlot.
Easy access - but this is a con too.
Good climbing trees - I use a portable climber so it's good to have a lot of options as I usually don't hunt the same tree more than once a season if I don't have too.

Cons:
Other hunters - enough said
Easy Access - See number 1
Longevity - my guess is one day it because part of a housing plan or an expansion of the current industrial park.

Pros: LOTS of big deer. Several 150+ killed in the area last season.Also big bodies, typical bucks are 200#+ on the hoof. (Yeah Texas does have some).

Cons: 4 hour drive. The cost of fuel is making it not feasible this year. [X(]
