I have gained permission to hunt on hundreds of acres of two properties. One of those properties (hundreds of acres) is remote and all woods - with huge amounts of oak trees. Only about three people, including me will hunt it this year. It was not hunted last year.
I have been scouting on it, clearing logging roads, and doing some hunting from a pop-up blind. There is a ton of buck sign and I have seen bucks each of the two times I have hunted it so far. I located an excellent place (on the top of a ridge line) to place a ladder stand. So, my wife and I took down a low producing stand I had on the property that I sold and I have been getting ready to set it today at the new location I have scouted out.
The stand location is a long ways from a public road. We can drive a 4 WD truck part way up an old gas well road, but then we have to switch to old logging roads that are not currently passable by a pick-up truck. We will have to use my UTV.
This is how I plan to get close to the stand location with an extension ladder to use to set the ladder stand.
