Good luck Ben. Should have teams drawn up and posted sometime tomorrow night, if you get lucky and cant get service, just take a pic as usual and just leave off the team name, but if you check in tom night I'll have you one posted up.
Father in law always had around 50 had or so. You can make a plot pretty easy, just get a roll of wire and some t-posts and find a corner to put a small plot in. At the end of the season open a gap and turn the cows into it.
I think you're getting it now. I'll also add this, learn to judge range on your own without a range finder. If you become dependent on it I promise it will let you down. Like skipping learning times tables cuz you have a calculator.
Just get a tree with cover, not like they will flow down the trail like a car on a highway and never turn. Any deer you see in range is going to eventually give you every angle possible (unless they bust you). You just have to capitalize on the opportunity when it arises.
You're seriously thinking about this too much, go get in the tree already!
We usually like a good tropical storm in August, bringing much needed rain. This year has been so wet it's not funny, hope we don't get to much water but looks like it's gonna be a big rainmaker.
