I hunt 10 minutes from the house on a small 20 tract bordered by farms and swamp. This area just happens to be between the bedding and feeding areas and deer travel thru it constantly. Also have turkeys. I have hunted a lot of places (23 years in the Air Force = Upstate New York, Alaska, Ohio, South Carolina, California, Texas and Florida) I have had great success on my little 20 Tract and haven't been anywhere else to hunt for the last 10 years except for a successful moose hunt in Maine in 2005.
