In the sw corner 2 creeks intersect just off that field...I would check there. The deer should funnel up that creek from the south
The timber is extremely thick along the edges of the fields. It opens up a little once you get in about 40 yards, but it's still pretty think. There's a great saddle off the northern most part of the bean field. There were multiple deer bedded in that area when I walked it that first afternoon. It would be really hard to hunt that NE corner unless I took my canoe down the river. I'm pretty sure I would blow everything out for miles if I tried to make my way through the timber. I'm thinking about hunting the edge of that northern most part of the beans for the early season, as long as the beans are still green. Then once the foliage starts to come off, I'll try and hunt some of the trails in the deep sections of the timber. I'm going to try and be as low impact in and out as I can during the early season.
Here's an overhead view of my spot. It is 160 acres of planted pines, oaks, and various hardwoods. The spots are my stand sites, with the exception of the one on the far right. That's a mistake that I didn't know how to get rid of. I showed you mine, now lets see yours! Blessings..........Pastorjim
Here you go pastorjim. I'm mainly focusing on the south east part since it has the closest soy bean field. I am getting lots of does walking that creek. This property is almost 700 acres and I'm finally starting to figure out the south part of it. I will sit somewhere in the middle of it so I can use it as a vantage point to try and pinpoint activity to the north. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I hunt a lot of different tracts. My personal farm has a thread called the pit....I've got 8 other farms to hunt as well, but 5 of them are brand new this year so I don't know a lot about them yet
Main outline then a little zoom with my stand locations on there. Haven't gone them all on yet but you get the idea Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Has anyone else given any thought to the avatar? Here's one option. Someone else feel free to edit it as you see fit or come up with something else.
I got a call from my brother a couple of nights ago. You know those little patches of woods surrounded by corn and soybeans I was talking about in Kentucky? One of the guys who lives within sight of one of those patches has been seeing a buck he describes as a wide, mainframe 10 with "diggers" on both sides. I suppose that's Kentucky speak for drop tines. Anyway, I have a whopping two trail cams behind my house, so I'm going to pull those Friday and scramble to Kentucky Saturday to sneak in, put the cams where I think he'll be traveling, hang a stand in a promising spot and get out as quickly as possible. If he's traveling the path I think he is I'll be able to hang the cameras and the stand without actually crossing his travel path. Bow season opens on the 5th in Kentucky, so my plan is to get in super early the morning of the 5th (provided the wind is right), hunt until around 10:00 and then get down, pull the cameras, sneak out and see what I'm dealing with. What I need the morning of the 5th is just about anything but an East or Southeast wind. I suppose the chances of actually getting a shot are slim, especially going in blind, but I know that area and I'm familiar with the travel routes. There's a better than average chance he'll still be using that same travel pattern. It's worth a shot.
Good luck this year. I dont care for your team name but, to each there own. I am a Police officer, best of luck anyway.
No offense is intended. I have nothing but respect for police officers and find the whole "hands up, don't shoot" protest to be totally ridiculous. The name is kinda a jab at those folks, certainly not at law enforcement.
Thanks for what you do! Please don't take offense by the name. It was never making fun of police officers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
