What kind of sticks and stand we talking? if you got a decent mobile setup and you're well practiced with it you can shimmy up a tree fairly stealthy like but you have to consciously make yourself go slow and be careful not to make a ton of noise. I'm not a fan of the blind idea just because of...
I70 sucks, no denying it. I80 full of truckers having a drag race and not allowing anyone to pass for 3 miles because one wants to go 71mph instead of 70 though. Its a wash to me.
Similar thing happened to me when I drew an Iowa muzzeloader deer tag a few years ago. Shot a great buck at last light but due to the smoke etc, couldn't tell his reaction. We found good blood and tracked that night until we found his bed then backed out until the next day. At that point I...

So, your saying you can't legally hunt with a rifle unless you own 300 plus acres? That doesn't quite make sense. People deer hunt on small properties everywhere.
Don't think you immediately have to run out and drop a shit ton of money on decoys, boats, mud motors, giant hilton type permanent blinds etc etc.... You can kill birds with smaller spreads, an old johnboat or even canoe, and a simple improvised brush blind. I kind of went HAM the first few...
