    My list is long as well. Just signed a lease out here in IL last weekend. I'm hoping this warmer weather will kill some of the snow this week and I'm planning to walk it very soon to start getting an idea of the property. While I'm excited to be hunting in a spot that holds big deer, I've got a lot of cameras and stands to buy and hang. I'm also planning in doing some plots this year as well.

    Well number 1 might take us a month straight.

    1. Get trail cut to middle of property to get to 4 acre food plot.
    2. Do number 1 because windstorm knocked 100+ trees over old trail.
    3. Get food plot planted
    4. Wait for dryer conditions so we have a bit better chance of getting tractor over the ridges.
    5. Build bridge over creek to get better chance at 4.
    6. Put in 2 redneck hunting blinds.
    7. put in 4 new stands.
    8. Move 2 stands,
    9.Cut better shooting lanes for 2 stands.
    10. Plant 10-20 apple/pear trees.
