I have a picture of it I'm just trying to figure out how to up load it I plan on doing one or two small ponds and making a creak to connect them

That sanctuary Brandon brought up is a good idea. All three of the leases I've hunted had one. On two leases it was near a border, one the lease I have now it is right in the middle.

One reason is when the game feels stressed from hunting or whatever they have someplace to go other than your neighbors place.

And another reason is if TSHTF you have a spot where you know there is a meal to be had.

Mostly the safe havens are bedding areas. Tall bushes (hedge rows) with good overhead cover, good view (at least in one direction) and multiple escape routes. Hogs will burrow into the thick stuff. Deer often prefer someplace with a little elevation and good fields of view to bed down in. The exception being Doe with young Fawns, they seem to prefer someplace lower, out in the open, but with tall grass or weeds, away from the normal bedding areas.

Spring mowing can be a dangerous time for Fawns, the Doe flee, the Fawns hunker down and won't move.

I would upload pictures of it with all the bounders but since I don't have a computer or access to one I can't post any. I have it all mapped out including where current tree stands are where I want to put more stands at where I want food plots at where I want to plant trees and do the two ponds but until this becomes iPhone friendly or I break down and buy a laptop and get wifi at the house I can't upload pictures of it

Send it to my email [email protected] and I will upload it for you.

Ok thank you I'll send it your way

No problem

The red is the property line the black is what I don't own the purple is where I plan to plant trees and tall grass the green is where I plan on one pond being and the rest in that little field I plan on being good plot and I haven't decided about the big field yet

I was playing around with the picture me I would do something like this well from where I live. I put the NE corner as the Santuary because most winds during hunting season come from the North. So putting it away from most human pressure and traffic will be best plus there is that small parcel of trees next to it.
Green= cover. I would do something like pines mixed with oak trees.
Orange= a tall CRP type grass, or make a few of them standing corn. CRP would probably be cheaper
Blue= food plots
and of course pick where you would want the two ponds to go. But this is like a ten year mangement plan that I put together off the top of my head. Biologist, forestry, etc would be able to give you a lot more information.

Thank you for that information I'll use it and mine when I talk to my boss about suggestions now my next question is today is the last day of fire arm season there's a week of no hunting before muzzle loader season starts but no one in my girlfriends family hunts muzzle loader so they are done hunting for the year but I want to know how many trail cams should I put up and about how far apart?

None, let it rest.
