My neighbor on 8000 acres uses his red dodge truck as his blind. Heated and a/c. The deer love his blind. It feeds them every time they see it. He shoots huge bucks whenever he's in the mood to.

Congrats on the land Purchase! Not a better time to make a investment purchase like that!

Congrats on your new place!!!

As was said earlier, road feeder and glassing should give you a good idea. Just enjoy it and know...you can do whatever you want

I would put a boat in that river and go shoot some greenheads...

Well the closing got pushed back until tomorrow at 12:00.

The good news is that the owner allowed me to go out there this past weekend and I put out 3 feeders. With the freezing rain and sleet it made it easier to see which game trails are being used.

I thought is was illegal to hunt deer from your pickup? Is it legal?

on private property its legal..not on public roads/highways

This - Scout some game trails first, then set up a popup blind and "brush" it in real good to make it blend with the natural forage. Then thro a little corn out strategically for optimal shots.

IMO - You don't want to do alot of work setting up permanent blinds and feeders right in the middle of the best part of the season, plus best to wait to figure out where you're deer are and travel before making permanent plans.
