[QUOTE="dbierman, post: 4529172, member: 18535"] You just gotta be willing to do the work no one else is willing to do. You can't just jump out of your truck and walk 5 minutes to a ladder stand and kill a deer you been watching on camera and feeding all summer. There's work involved, but put in the work and the reward is satisfying. My best/favorite spot is a place that's very difficult to get to. Takes about 30 min to walk to in the dark, thick brush and swampy with a climber and a day bag on my back. I have to use a Garmin GPS (60csx) in the dark to find it and I've made that walk a bunch of times and still get turned around or off track from time to time. The payoff to going to a spot like that is there probably won't be anyone else going back there so it's all yours. I've yet to be bumped and I've been hunting there since 2011. Killed a 13pt there last season, not a huge deer but my personal best, and that was very rewarding. I haven't been able to spend as much time in the woods this year due to work but I've had a couple chances to fill my tag, I've just decided not to shoot yet. I love public land, there are several thousand acres around here, more than I could ever afford to lease. I don't have to maintain it, worry about trespassers or worry if I'm gonna loose it next season and have to scramble to find a new place and scout it, the best part is it's [b]free[/b]. Find the nasty stuff and make it yours, you'll be glad you did. [/QUOTE]
