While taking a walk in the woods on our Southern Illinois farmstead I found a place on top of a ridge, just inside one of my deer sanctuary areas that I could place a stand in a large oak tree. I also had an epiphany that I could cut a new road to open up a shooting land for the new stand, and at the same time open up a shooting land for one of the old rickety shoot houses that I moved on the property. Join me as I outline my strategy and make it happen with the Bobcat E42 mini excavator. The shoot house overlooks a great fall food plot mix, and now I'll have another 60 yards of shooting land for the next Illinois deer shotgun season! Also, watch my prediction come true, that deer would be using the new road almost instantly, as I film a nice buck using it the next evening! Please share this video if you enjoy it! Thank you!
