I'm not sure Jeff but you seem to have far to much time on your hands and FAR to many fine looking places to hunt.

If I was to pose a similar question as you it would be should I set my stand next to the giant recently completed neighborhood of giant colonials or behind the new Target store being put in.

I would also just have to say that with over 51 sits this year already you should be on track for a monster this coming week or two. I have been out a couple dozen times and it feels like I'm over sitting the eight good ones I have. On top of that deer sighting for me are dropping rather that increasing.

Good luck Jedley old boy

Planter...."time" hasn't been the issue. I've been free from all work obligations for oer a month. I haven't been overhunting any spots. I've played the wind to my advantage on most every sit since Rob/Matt left. I've done that part "right".

I to HAVE to believe (for sanity's sakes) that the next few weeks will produce. I just feel "weird" dropping back and relying a LOT on the lands I've always hunted. I don't know of a single good buck in those woods....so I'm having to trust a traveler will come through....OR a buck I haven't seen will show.

Who knows? I'll be out there, though. I'd love for it all to come together.

And you're right.....I have some unbelievable beautiful spots. I am extremely luck to have secured them for this (and future) year.

Just take me out there then after you kill a buck off that saddle.
