Thanks for the advice. I just bought Eberhart's Precision Bowhunting book recommended in the sticky post to help me better understand what to look for. Looking forward to taking that knowledge to my scouting and sitting.

Yes, you guys have it right -- bought this year. I leased a property in the same county last year, but this is land I now own. I was anxious to get a jump on doing something this year, but instead I'll take the time to observe and learn. The wife and I plan on retiring to the property some...

Hoping I can get some advice on the best thing I can do to improve my odds this fall...I just came into about 30 acres in Ashtabula county. Let me tell you a bit about it... It's almost entirely wooded with a thick canopy so not much sunlight hitting the floor. Lots of trees but overall...

New member here. Even though I'm far from young, I've only been hunting for a few years so looking forward to learning from others. Deer bow hunting and small game are my current pursuits.
