That One great answer. Dig a bit deeper and think of any other reasons. A food for though kinda thing for anyone thinking of buying land to hunt. Damn Skip.... lol.

Apples to apples guys.

Why 83? And yeah, I should have added in my original post to explain your reasoning.

Would you choose. Never heard of this being discussed before in print or media. Just crossed my mind today. Let's say there was a 640 acre block of superb cover and it was being sold I quarters and you could buy only one. Which one and why. Remember, apples to apples.

I like/ respect Don H.. One thing I wished he'd quite repeating is the " lack of human intrusion " mantra. All though it sounds good on paper, .... I've almost got to the point in a video where is see someone walking to a (blind), I shut it off. . Same as a 10 year kid sitting with Dad in an...

Never seen one. (That I know of), do/ can they grow in northern Mn?

Lol. Just did this yesterday setting up in a huge Burr Oak. My days of screwing in steps are OVER!! I grew up being a run n gunner. Can't imagine how many screw ins I've done? Many hundreds. Nice thing about what I described, even years later, clamp on a vise grip and they spin right out...

A cheap,safe way to get into stands. For those that hunt mostly private ground out of portables of just a " perfecty" placed tree where you can stand on limbs (I know..) that's a lost aspect. Cordless drill, a 1/2" drill bit , a bunch of 7" by 1/2" bolts. Pre drill your desired spacing...

Great video Skip. I personally have no need for one as all my plots are 1/4 acre or less. I'm stuck to the broadcast and drag method.

Can't say I have a favorite. Tried Lots. Overall, I've had dismal success grunting/ rattling.

Yes sir!!, like the best I've ever seen. Gotta say though, over 40 years± bowhunting many miles of windy riverbottoms with tight points, it not as easy as it appears. Older bucks (and does) know the game. Gotta follow Extreme scent control on enty/ exit routes. Brought a stand in today to...

Oopps, forgot the map.

OK, will try this. Lol. I drew out a map. #1 is first stand. I took no pics of it. But other then a pond, both spots are about the same. In the map I drew out, stand #1 has about 10 acres in the back point, #2 has about 20. (Guessing). The trees along the river on all of it is rather slim..bout...

Never hurt to ask. Have a cousin couple miles away. He farmed his whole life but now retired. Rents out his land. I used to bowhunt it years ago but he n I didn't get along very well so.... He has about 1400 acres ( continuous) along a river.north to south, bout 2.5 miles but with all the bends/...

I would not.

Acorns appear to be done falling now. A few Burr Oaks had bumper crops.

Interesting question. Hope someone in the ' know" chimes in.

No Way can I answer that Hardwoods. Food, winter thermal cover, predators,all come into play up here. Good topic though.

You fellas deal with EHD, I deal with extreme cold/ blizzards. The whitetails have it tough yet still survive. Amazing creatures for sure.
