How many stands and blinds do you have on your property? How many acres do you have?

Yes there is a pitch....6'2 to 5'10".....

I have many many many  actually 28 stands... now two shooting houses....12 ground blinds....two climbers and two portable blinds on 73 acres...at camp I have 4  on 68 acres the guys have 5.....I hunt from Oct to Dec ...nearly every day at one point or another and change stands pretty much daily...the deer...Tend to look up...a lot of guys file in just before season  and start stand work.....if they notice a stand on me ...well its been there all year and they see so many...no big deal...but they pretty much react to my being out working in the woods all day the same way....I routinely walk past mature and fawn deer ...just yards away and they just watch me and go about their business.

Don't forget the septic system & well

When I bought my property there were 3 nice shooting boxes on it. Each piece of lumber was marked so they knew where it went during assembly out in the field.

Each box also had a big funnel with a lid that drained to a buried 5 gal bucket.
