Just got home from checking out a new deep but narrow 20 acre parcel I just got permission on. It had 2 box gun blinds and 7 treestands on it as there are a couple other guys (don't know them) hunting it.
All their stands were quite a ways back into the property and I prepared one location only and it is 40 yards from the main road next to 3 apple trees. The apple trees are about 20 yards off the road but the area is very dense and even if a buck were at the trees I doubt anyone in a vehicle could see them because there is a ton of brush along the road. If they produce apples it should be good for an early season evening hunt and a couple evening pre rut hunts. Will rake it in late August so I can get in quiet as the deer be very near it.
Took me 5 hours to clear the tree and 4 lanes with a chainsaw. I'm getting to old for this stuff, not really and it sure feels good when it's done.
