RE: What is the biggest problem you face?
First and foremost - finding a spot to go. Unless you've got connetions or big $ in this area, you're about out of luck.
After that my biggest problem is trespassers on the land I currently do have permission to hunt on. From people walking their dogs to four wheelers to bird watchers, or just some random moron taking his truck through the field, it's a never-ending battle to keep my spot free of people long enough to pattern or get close to deer.

RE: What is the biggest problem you face?
finding the right tree. I'll stand between several good trees for as much as a half hour weighing the pros and cons. it is ridiculous at times. thank god I have a pretty good notion about which one is better. I have shot many deer this way, often on the first time there. I have picked trees based on post season activity and sign, only to say, 'no' and choose another tree for whatever reason.

RE: What is the biggest problem you face?
I think finding enough ground to hunt on causes my biggest problem:
Burning out a stand
Believe me, I have many obstacles to overcome, but like most, having quality ground to hunt on is a big one. What little ground I have to hunt on (very thankful I have any) is shared among too many hunters. Once I find that rare spot that "works", I just love hunting too much not to go out and sit in my stand.

HNIJustin - Wow. Isn't it something how different it is from state to state ? I have tens of thousands of acres within 30 minutes of my home to hunt, never would I even think about plaicng a place to hunt as a "problem" or trespassers.

My biggest problem is actually hunting a new area. I scout and scout and find great sign and perfect trees but to actually hunt that tree is so difficult! I always feel I might miss the big one in my favorite tree!

RE: What is the biggest problem you face?
I usually put up 5 stands where i hunt. When I am hunting it seems like I always find myself thinking I should have went to one of my other spots. I always stay at my first pick though so I don,t mess up my area moving at prime time.
