Some places are fairly thick, for sure, and they often get a bit wet. But, deer are deer. Find the places that they go and you can get em. That said, I have been hunting this little piece (my property) the last two years and I have not yet dropped the string. Let a number walk, from as close as maybe 10 yards, but I don't need the meat (freezer already has a Wisconsin doe in it) so I sit there for fun and enjoyment.
I'll tell you, I never have had the opportunity to walk out of a cabin at 7:30 am, walk 200 yards or less to a treestand that is already in place, hunt for a few hours and walk back, until I started hunting my place. I kinda really like it.
