In the past I would have said no owning land has not effect on what someone will take..... that is untill I bought land. Last year was the first year I had the property, closed the 2nd week of bow season. Got my climber out and had a brown is down mentality. Arrowed a doe the next morning. This year things have evolved. I have run cameras for a year. Done some land improvements. Added apple trees planted and plot hung many stands and followed my cams for a year. I will say my mentality has changed. I will not be shooting a doe this year and will probably be passing on 6 pointers as well. I took inventory of what I have on cams as well as meat I have in my freezer from the purchase of a cow and fishing and even some left over deer meat from a multi deer season last year. Basically i will only be shooting a buck that I want on the wall of the new cabin...... another factor that plays into this is there are two newer hunters that I mentor and I would much rather then take a doe or 6pt so why disturb the property for anything other then a wall hanger.

You forgot one the ups guy hit her target buck on his way up the drive and gave the antlers to the neighbor who she hates Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First off are these the same deer I say yes my buddy says no also what do you think the gross score would be on these bucks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not thread highjacking at all it's my thread and now I wanna know lol, sounds like something I would like to do Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My other climber is the lone wolf sit and climb I've been tossing the idea of a hang on around but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I guess they make me kind of nervous Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I couldn't help myself and went online today and bought the lone wolf sit and climb combo stand. This will be the 2nd climber I own as I don't really pack them in and out. I own my land and generally leave it attached to the tree and figured a 2nd one will add options. I also have 4 ladder stand and two groundblinds.... so I'll pose these questions what kinds of stands does everyone else use and what is the best stand you have used so far. The answer can for sure be different for both bow and gun Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rain is at least making the humidity go. Away it was horrible before Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hot muggy and raining this blows Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's really awesome! Makes me look forward to the day I can get my son in the woods. Planted a mini orchard this year should be ready when he's old enough lol... good luck tomorrow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Down in the creek bottom this pm. On a penusila surrounded by water on three sides lots of great pics in this area Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So mad set alarm on my phone alarm Went off but some how I had the ringer on silent and I didn't hear it vibrate... wtf oh well at least it's a crappy day I missed. I'll move a stand mid day and hunt it this evening Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First sit in a long time that I didn't see anything must be these warm temps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Get ur ass in the woods Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cooling off clouds coming in looks like its gunna get dark early tonight could be a good end to the sit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's a squirrel finally spotted him lol man he's making a lot of noise Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Something moving up the drainage behind me can't tell what it is dry leafs are very noisy today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea I've been in the stand 30 min now it's hot up here for sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm happy to say I started this thread 7 years ago and I am now on my 3rd truck since... none of them leases I just drive way to much Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is pretty much want we have done, last year we had a stand on the other side of the drainage as well that tree fell down and we did not replace it yet but we will. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so the orange dots I just made are better representations of where those stands are the blue line going down the hill is a rain run off drainage... the long serpentine blue line is a flowing creek. Anything on the down screen side of drainage was selectively logged a year and a half ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So Ive now had this property for two years and and have done pretty good at getting in on the deer. I just figured it's always good to get some other opinions see if there is anything I have missed. I am attaching a satellite and topo maps that have some of my more used stand placements on them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed I was there last weekend It was great. Try north branch in or Arnold house if you haven't yet. Arnold is less expensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have you been to the restaurant in cochecton above the gas station ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
