I am not going to tell where my favorite place is because if I do someone else will go there too.

I would say along the edge of the Edisto river in the river bottoms and in the small areas between the swamp and fields. Nothing like sitting in those woods and watching the day break as a gobbler breaks the silence. I took many a naps under those cypress and oaks mid morning! Bamberg,Colston,Branchville,Ehrhardt and Hampton area love it.

Bald Twins Hill, Ft. Sill OK. Granted, the sound of 155m arty in the distance has become normal to me.

Down amoungst the water oak and cypress trees, river canes and palmettos, where the creek makes a big double bend, watching the wood ducks swim back and forth as I hunt.

My family has a bit of land in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a few miles from Munuscong Lake. Most of it is forested with cedar and pine, and there's a small ridge that runs along it that overlooks a hay field. I could sit on that ridge and watch the sun set every day for the rest of my life and never get tired of it. It's also ideal for hunting--white tail tend to break from the forest and follow the ridge line below me. Set up behind a bush, and you have a natural blind.

Schell mountain range in Nevada.  Deer, elk, lions and nobody near the top.  All else are in the lowlands.  From the top you can see horizons  miles away, you feel like jets overhead could be touched, the air has never touched another human nostril and ears can relax as there is nothing necessary to hear. The ancient ones guide us via spirit up there.you oughta try it!

For me it's the old Georga Pacific Lumber property between  Fort Bragg and Willits  on the Calif. North Coast.
Beautiful country filled with redwoods and ferns. I can roam for days and not hear anything but nature. At one time it was unusual to see anyone in there. Now a days you have to be careful of the Mexican Cartels growing marajuana. Those crazy buggers will even shoot at the land owners

Thanks to all for sharing their special places.  I have another place closer to home here in Minnesota, my mom and dads little hunting property.  I sat a stand overlooking a willow swamp one morning this past November.  Gun season was over and I guess I just wanted to see if anything was still alive.  I didn't even have a bow with me cause I'd punched my tag earlier in the season.  The first thing I like to do after buckling in, is lean my head back against the tree and stare up through the branches at the stars and the moon.  The stand faces the east and the sun rise was amazing, I couldn't help but to raise my arms to the sky and thank God for this place and moment in time.  I ended up seeing a nice eight point poking around for a doe and a decent year and half old buck harassing a couple of fawns around my stand.

I've a spot in NW Maine where I hunt and flyfish that is just about as perfect as it can be. I camp on a steam that holds good brook trout, and if you follow it down far enough, it empties into one of my favorite fly fisihing rivers. There are deer, moose, bear, partridge, hare out there, too, and all the times I've been there, day trips or overnighters, I've never seen another person there, except for the times my hunting and fly fishing buddy comes with me. I dream of this spot in the off-season and so look forward to getting back.

Jeff
Take care,
Jeff

All great places! I for me there's a couple of places the family cabin in Pennsylvania where I can walk out a few hundred yards on a cool spring morning and perch myself up on the big boulders where I listen for turkeys and take in the woods waking up. The second is a price of public hunting ground in the smoky hills of Kansas I always make it a point to climb to the top of the bluffs and watch the shadows of the clouds rolling across the hills
All we have to decide is what to do with the time given to us.

I have a favorite stand in an unremarkable place. It is 17' up a cedar tree in a fenceline separating a woodlot from small old fields interspersed with smaller woodlots. I can practically walk to this spot, about 700 yards from where I park my truck in my sleep.

In one direction, pictured below I can see a very long ways.

My 5 acre woods. With a 15 min. Walk I can get away from everything and know I will not run into anyone else.  Farm and woods have been in the family for over a 100 yrs.  Never thought a person could have so many great hunting memories on 5 acres.    :)

When I'm at camp it's right outside the door, when I'm home I have to drive 5 or 10 minutes. Woods are every where.

There is a beaver pond down in the bottom on the left that can't be seen until you are near it. I love that patch of woods and feel at home there. It may not look too spectacular, but I have some fond memories in that place. One night coyotes were howling on all the ridges around me as dark set in. Cool and eerie feeling all the same... Never saw a deer that day, but it was cold, snowy and quiet. I was all alone and it was fun to see the coyote tracks crossing my path in the deep snow as I walked back out that night.
