Nice! A deer would have been even easier in that same situation with much bigger vitals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice bucks!

If this land purchase goes through, I need to get 1 or two of these. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea I'm thinking 1400yds, so 50 signs or so going every 30 yards. Probably just have him buy 100 signs customized. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup, read through all that. Thx tho Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cool, thx. Not super heavy pines or anything so we were thinking 30 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats! How far apart do u guys post? Trying to get an idea of how many signs my dad needs to buy. Rough dimensions of 4 sides are 300yds, 400yds, 475yds, 225yds Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The 115 is not posted where it border our 20, so when we try our best to post a line we will see what is down there. I did drive around on the main to the front of the 115, where it touches the main road and its heavily posted and looks swampy/overgrown leading to a mountain, which is where our land is on top of.

Only house is across the street from our small 2 blue parcels which we will use to pull off road to park. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What confuses me is why aren't the deer eating the acorns at night and bedding in swampy stuff on 115 during the day? Owner makes it sound like the opposite. Maybe whatever is in the overgrown fields is what they are eating at night? It sounds great for me, just curious why.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes N is top. Hope so!! I'm thinking although there are tons of acorns by T, maybe the deer just never make it that far if they are always going from the 115 spot up to the D spot? There are a few spots near D where I can sit in a rock crop and be looking 10-15 feet straight down into a valley. Like being in a treestand almost.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Map attached. The other 2 blue parcels are what we would own as well and park there. The red is a trail (paper road) that we are allowed to walk up to our property on.

So here is an updated map. The 20 acres is pretty flat for the most, it is like the plateau of the surrounding land and 1 of the highest points in elevation of all of Putnam County. The "T" is where the landowner said his Dad (the hunter) would get turkeys every year. Tons of acorns in this area and he showed us some big trees where the turkeys roost. Although tons of acorns in this section of the property he said mostly turkeys and coyotes seen in this area. He said the spot for deer is hunting is spot I marked "D". Owner said that the 115 acres down the hill is swampy and has overgrown fields etc. He said the deer are always walking up the hill towards spot "D", coming from the swamps. He said they are down in the 115 acres during the night and come up to the 20 acres in the mornings/mid-days.

Sweet Baby Jesus. Great buck. Congrats.

Enjoy it guys. Here's my view until xbow season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I really like these signs, thx! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea considering the land is so close to where we live and the land is only 20 acres in hoping trespassers won't be too much of an issue. The only neighbor who has a house said he never sees cars parked in front of the land my dad is buying. Between the watershed and development land bordering it, maybe people don't realize there is 20 acres in there. From the road you just see a steep hill, potential trespassers might not have considered walking to the top of the hill or they would have realized there was 20 acres of most flat land Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No worries on out of area phone number. My dad lives under 10 miles away. Same area code. Maybe we will just put last name and a phone number. How are you guys attached the nice posted signs? Hammer and nail, or wood screws and a gun? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds great. That would be good SEASON for meSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I forgot to mention that two of the four sides of the property are marked DEC Watershed no trespassing signs. So we should just use the same trees but post ours on the opposite side? The other 2 side border woods that aren't marked so we will follow the maps/surveys the best we can I guess. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thx all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup we plan to get to know the 1 neighbor more once the property is ours. Being under 20min away makes it nice for my dad who is retired. He can stop there whenever he wants. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good tips. Not many neighbors. 1 is the NYS Dec and the other is a development corporation that has been trying since the mid 1980s to build a condo complex but it hasn't happened. The one house on the road is across the street and my Dad talked to the guy already who said he hates deer because they eat his plants etc. while he's not really a hunter he wasn't against it so that's good. I saw a few website to buy posted signs. Some have the name/address some don't. Address wise my dad lives under 10 miles away so it wouldn't look bad but I'm not sure he would want random people knowing his address etc that's why I think he was going to use the signs with no personal information on them.
