[QUOTE="HntWhtTail, post: 575985, member: 38547"] As any self respecting hunter should I will not tell you exactly where but I will tell you That I have found more than one long range spot that most others will overlook.. I have been focusing on small sections of state land that look for all intensive purposes to be a waist of time. but if you can see said parcel of land from public across private or maybe across a river why not I just found my new whitetail spot for next year and it is only a section about 25 yards deep and 150 yards long. the only problem is you can only see it from the opposite bank even then at that level the brush is too tall and if something did come right out to the edge you would be spotted for sure the only way to hunt it with any chance of success is from 600 plus on a bench across the river from it. This does make game retrieval a bit more complicated but who doesn't like a good adventure. I have all ready gone over it in my head. Retrieval goes like this after buck is down me, my inflatable canoe and a quick float from upstream bone out dear into bags back into boat back across river, drag canoe and deer back to truck as I said this is a small section in a spot that used to be good on the dry side of the river now its over run with hunters who are losing land every year and end up in my spot.
