[QUOTE="Bushape, post: 5776259, member: 20106"] Hunted a location on my lease this morning and evening that I am fairly certain has been neglected this season if not longer by most of not all other hunters. From the pictures you can tell that this is the western boundary (pic 4). The small field on top of the ridge is an overgrown greenfield that I let go and from a geographical standpoint cover is the only thing being provided and it doesn’t appear that there is much of a reason for neighboring hunters to encroach. Every ridgetop to the east is now 2-5 year old pine and sage (pic 2). My access was up the bottom of the hollow (pic3) a little after sun up in which I chased 6-7 deer (best I could tell antlerless) out of. Still sat in my climber and had two impressive young bucks come strolling through. This evening I was able to see more bucks cruising in the distance and chased even more deer off as I left back up the hollow in the dark. I don’t mind this time of year waiting on a buck to cruise by but man I’d love to get a good sit with some does hanging out. So how would you go about accessing this site? One thought I had was to abandon that hollow access, go over that ridge to the west and walk down the other hollow before crossing that point and climbing in the dark this time (pic 1). Keep in mind this is for bow hunting. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
