Four Buck Kills On This Piece Of Ground

[U.P. MAN]

Here is a piece that a buddy and I leased for a few years. The arrow furthest to the west (left) is where my buddy killed a 150". The stand right behind the house is where I killed the bucks in the 1st two buck pics, and wounded another one. The middle stand is where I killed the buck in the 3rd buck pic. The last buck pic is my buddies 150" We lost this piece after the 2016 season.

Hate you lost it. Great bucks!

Awesome bucks! Do you remember the dates of when you two killed them?

[U.P. MAN]

All were the last week of October. We actually started leasing the property next door to the west last year

U.P.MAN would you be willing to share what county this is in? Thinking about retirement locations....

Nice!

What winds did you hunt those stands with?

Minnesota hills?

[U.P. MAN]

Yes SE MN. The stand behind the house was pretty forgiving. I walked down into the draw to climb my tree. 35 ft of sticks put me 15 ft above ground to the North. There is a very good draw crossing at the top where they liked to cruise. Pretty much anything but a straight East or West wind worked. The middle stand I only hunted one time, that evening I had a pretty strong Easterly wind, just a little South to it. The stand my buddy killed his out of had a trail running SW to NE right on the top of fairly large draw, it was a really good pinch. Being so close to the draw, and the trail being right on the edge of it, he sat it with most winds other than a NW. Although he did get busted once on a dead West wind when a buck came through cruising just inside the field edge. I'd say 95% of the deer he saw were cruising the main trail though.
