My best tip was given to me by a friend who is a logger and has hunted Alabama deer his whole life.He told me to sit on a recent c cut of mine and watch where the deer cross the cut.It won't change when it grows up.Set stands to intercept for years to come.In my case the first year I watched 8 racked bucks enter and leave the cut at the same spots. On the east side they were coming from an Oak flat with a lot of chest to head high crap that had grown up when some big Pine timber had been cut out of it due to bugs.Also found a great creek crossing.Anyway, I spent a lot of time thinning out patches and lanes through the underbrush and set a stand downwind of the creek crossing. Basically I ended up with a spot that is on a major travel corridor and I have probably 20 acres I can see into very easily that looks like a jungle from a deer eye view.I have watched probably a half dozen full out chases in there over the last couple of years and the two biggest bucks to have come off my place in recent history came out of that stand.So it was pretty good advice.
