I am up in Indiana and have two good choices on where to select a stand...which would you chose for what reasons??

The first on is in a the woods with a couple trails...some brushy area in front with some acorns.. There are 3 old scrapes but they dont look like they have been used..a couple good looking trails, but I have hunted it once in the morning and once in the afternoon withou seeing anything.

The other is a brushy area on the corner on two fields and a pine tree farm, the owner said he has seen some nice bucks in the area a quite a few does..my brother saw 7 does in one of the fields last night....
their are some really nice trails running through the brushy field and grass field that the stand will be in..

thanks

go for the second......you hunted the other area and saw no deer , i'd hunt where the deer have been spotted.....

the second one. deer have been seen in the area.

Follow the does and the bucks will come..

i say #2..pine tree farms are deer magnets..you can't find any xmas tree farms in NE Iowa anymore. we tried last year at the one we've alwyas went to and the deer cleaned them out...alot of the owners now are just shooting deer adn letting them lay.

Go with what ever the land owner says.He lives there and knows what is going on
