[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1131402, member: 8873"] I watched this very thing happen a week ago, I'll keep my thoughts to myself. I had a similar situation as yours a few years back. I say similar because I don't have a clue about the actual lay of the land or farm. For opening weekend I was invited by a friend to hunt a smallish farm that was almost at the bottom of a valley/bowl and surrounded by public land on the high ground around it. I was told that I could shoot to 800 yards in the back pasture and there were deer everywhere. I got there two days early to scout and let things calm down, and to hang out with my buddy who used to be in the same military unit. The terrain and vegetation really wasn't right for an 800 yard field of view but if I sat on a knoll in the middle I had pretty much a 400x400ish view. However, while I was scouting all the terrain around on the public high ground I found a spot I could view the entire pasture. So that's where I set up, and made a good range card/sketch. It was a good distance from where the deer would come to the field and across a valley so I also did a good bit of shooting to map everything out. Opening morning I sat in my hidesite on public land and shot my buck on a main trailhead coming onto the private land. Could be an option for you, and if you have a buddy/spotter then he never has to step onto the private farm. [/QUOTE]
