Semo: We got a deal on 23 acres of very wet riverbottom land that was just what we were looking for. Landlocked, lightly hunted on the surrounding acerage and the farmer that abuts us lets us use his old logging roads and river (canoe it when we feel like it). It's remote enough that we can put out blinds, cameras and stands and nveer have to worry about theft....at least not yet in the four seasons we have owned it. What it has taught us is that deer are there, plenty of them, but despite that fact they are hard to come by, even when relatively undisturbed. Our cameras are fun to have and use and despite having them I cannot say that they have helped a lot in "aiding" us in harvesting deer. But I cannot overstate the value of being undisturbed hunters. We have our 23 acres and several hundred around us that rarely see more than a half dozen other hunters. It the other land wasn't posted I'm sure we could do a better job of patterning them. Just found a new trail this week, put up a camera and found that one of my big does on my hit list comes into the property from one direction, circles around a wet area and the cameras we had up led us to believe she was coming in from the west when in fact, she entered our property from the southeast..she knows how to use the prevailing wind. Still have about 3 weeks left and the moon should be darker by next weekend and I expect daytime activity to pick up. I've killed my share of animals on the last day so I will be out there if need be on the last day with the same expectations I had on day one. Thanks for the good wishes and if I get that doe, or one of the other two that are almost as big as her, I will post pics.
