So I've hunted this property for over 15 years. In that time I have moved stands around to over 10 different spots. I have never shot a deer on this property. I have had some encounters but I have actually only shot at one buck ever on this property ( muzzleloader misfire). I know the property very well and have walked every inch of it. But I can honestly say after much off season homework... this new set is the best that this property has to offer. That's something that I think we all need to think about. What is the best the property has to offer? I'm thinking this is it! It only took me 15 years to hang a stand here! LOL!!! All of my pieces are small agriculture chunks surrounded by more agriculture. Pretty typical of Western NY farms. The farms around here grow corn, soy beans, cabbage, squash, winter wheat, alfalfa. I lack the "big woods" feel in almost every set I hunt. My sets all tend to be pinch points and major travel corridors. It's seems like they all have a Creek involved also. And there is never a field too far away. I think that most of the time scouting these properties can be done easily with Google maps or hunt stand app all from the comforts of home. I guess maybe that is half the fun in chasing whitetails, right? Scouting and finding those "perfect" spots! I guess that's what got me hooked on bowhunting was t in the end you needed so many things to come together. Absolutely everything matters. May all the pieces come together!

When Do Bucks Visit Scrapes? https://www.qdma.com/bucks-visit-scrapes/?fbclid=IwAR0l3IFg3onEMEke1NVf2FMe6Ey7m9eL6ByrNTxDgPNyu-W8ZOFmxZWiTck

Pulled a card today and found a couple of things interesting. I had pictures of a 8 buck bachelor group moving through two nights ago (three of which are shooters). I figured this was the case and another week or so they will finally be split up. I also had three instances of small bucks chasing does in the past couple weeks.

Back at it! Hate how work gets in the way of hunting. Here until dark. Where is "here"? Inside corner of corn field with two random apple trees within arrow throwing distance. Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

A doe and a fawn just went through. Out of bedding and heading north. I'm curious to know their destination. Corn? Sent from my moto z4 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
