About the hunting land

The hunting land is about 250 acres (0.4 square miles) of urban farm land. The area has 4 fields, all of which are planted with soy beans this year. The fields cover roughly half the area where I will be hunting. This year, there are about 10 or 12 hunters with permission to hunt on this land and about 16 tree stands, so it goes without saying that it is pretty crowded. As with most urban hunting areas, the increased human traffic makes it much more difficult to spot and shoot deer. After the first couple weeks of the season, most of the deer become very cautious. Thus, the best chances to see and shoot a deer are during the opening week and before and during the rut when the bucks are a little less cautious.
