Hey Folks,
New member and new hunting land owner. Was hoping to get some good Do’s and Dont's of what to do on this hunting land to aid in successful November hunts?
-Property is 40 Acres (90%+ high ground)
-Clear Cut 25 Years ago, good mix of hardwoods and brush have come back since then
-Has a bunch of trails from the clear cut that were kept up, most that come to a point in the back with one existing deer stand
-Property surrounded by corn fields and more woods
-Many signs of buck activity (scrapes and such)
-Previous owner got his buck on opening day this year
This spring or early summer we are going to be adding another stand or 2 to the property but we don’t plan on doing any further building. We also plan on clearing some of the trails that have some down trees and such across them. We don’t think we need to cover any of our scents while doing this as human scents generally only last a few days right? What does everyone think about doing some target practice in the spring/summer on the property, not a ton but sighting in new guns and the occasional summer trip with a box of shells?
Thanks All
