[QUOTE="Ocoee Ridge Runner, post: 5818170, member: 13341"] I hunt three properties that are 200, 350, and 1200 acres. I have turkey hunted them for 10 years but over the last few years have started hunting deer on them. The first year I would walk in with a climber on my back but these properties are steep or the walks are long so it was exhausting. The last couple of years I just hunted off the ground which worked ok and I killed a mature buck last year doing but this year I was busted numerous times and decided for next season to take a different approach. So my question is how would you approach hunting these properties from using different climbing methods. 1. setup 2-3 ladder stands on each property in areas I have scouted and deemed good spots 2. learn to saddle hunt so I can move around easily and be more mobile 3. find the lightest climber I can and hunt the properties with another climber( I used a summit viper previously). I downloaded ONX and plan on scouting every inch of all three properties over the next few weeks to try and decide the areas that I need to hunt next season. Also, what would you do between now and next season to zero in on what areas to hunt. These properties range from steep hardwood ridges and bottoms to thick pine stands and acres and acres of head high briar thickets. [/QUOTE]
