Okay guys, finally got out to my friend's property and had a quick walk and looked around with them. We decided this might be a good place for a ground blind for archery season. What do you guys think?

There are already a lot of stands in those woods, but the property owner possibly wants to hunt them this year. AND, I prefer to shoot from a ground blind, being my first year with a bow. I feel more comfortable with a "straight-forward" shot, versus a quartered, from-the-tree-stand shot. I haven't put a camera up yet, but I plan to buy the new M-80 from Moultrie tomorrow and put it out this weekend, possibly with a salt block.
The property owner says the deer are funneling along the right edge of the property right next to that new subdivision and coming up along that field to head to the field and water source in the upper left, RIGHT through where I want to put the blind. He has given me permission to plant that tiny little block next the corn field with some clover to start a teeny food plot. He also is going to talk to the neighboring farmer (that owns both of those corn fields) and make sure it's okay that I may retrieve any deer from his property if they happen to run that way after impact. I'm pretty darn excited!

Bruce, I agree that would be an awesome spot, but it's someone else's property 
I guess I'll just hope for the best and try to get on the deer's path as best I can. Hopefully the camera tells me something over the next few weeks!
Mike, I'm pretty excited...trying to get food in the freezer and be the best, most ethical country girl I can possbily be! lol

That's what I'm trying to do. The property owner has told me that the most common route the deer are taking is right along the right edge of the property line beside the new subdivision. That subdivision was just built in the last year or two so the deer have changed their pattern, but my friend says he thinks they "feel safe" and they stick right to that edge when coming through, then head up to that upper cornfield. And yes, we are getting permission to retrieve deer from that adjoining property.

Haha I can't go any further north than where I am. The property line ends about 30 yards north of where I'll be sitting.
