How many acres?

<< < (2/2)

BowEd:
Advice given is all true.Preliminary preperation with the area and neighbors is a must.This is the time of year to get that done.I hunt on only around 30 acres mostly that are woods but connected to larger tracts.Balance of land is in row crop.On that 30 acres I have quite a few stands.Stands are only seperated by 1/4 to 3/8 of a mile at the most.A deers' movement range is a bit larger than that.Does will generally stay in a paticular area and are essential in a successful deer season.Many of the bucks during the rut will be ones not seen before.I don't use cameras myself but can see their advantages.During the rut is the most exciting time to be out there.
From 0 to hero as Pappy says.
Hunting larger tracts of land has it's advantages though.I can always tell by the deer movement.A person can spook deer out of an area visiting a stand too many times in a row.A person may think they got into the stand without detection but sometimes it is'nt so.This all can depend on how hard a person hunts.Every day or just on weekends.
It is totally legal by law in Iowa to retrieve a wounded deer from another persons' property with a proper blood trail without weapons but it's best to have a good relationship with the neighbors.That goes both ways too if they have a deer go onto your land your hunting.

Pappy:
In Tennessee it is considered trespassing to go on anyone property for any reason without permission, That is tough sometimes but also has it's good side. Bad when you need to go on theirs but keeps folks from wandering around on yours with out asking. :) I have a good relationship with most of my neighbors so don't have much of a problem. I didn't know any state was like your Ed, so I guess you just need to check the laws before you hunt.  ???

BowEd:
Me neither Pappy.I found out talking to the local game warden.Proper notification to the land owner is necessary though always.It's best to get along with all of a persons' neighbors.Personally I do too.
Laws are funny.A person can be on your property without permission.Hurt himself.Sue you for damages then too yet.So liability insurance is a must.
