I would consider hunting one Fall before making big decisions/changes. I learned so much about the deer movement and where they liked to be by sitting in the tree that first year on my farm. A lot of the patterns I learned were different than what I had expected. Although I'm still learning and...

ERC overall best screen option. Hybrid willow is the fastest. Together you get a quick starter and a nearly lifelong finisher. A couple rows of each. ~5' spacing. Also my favorite shrub option(s): nanny berry, Lilac, HBCranberry. Good luck

Excited about all the new cam options, just not about spending more than $100 d/t the number of cameras I try to run. Covert are my favorite for price and pic quality. Batteries last forever too. Better than my previous Bushnell, Stealth, and Hunten

I've always believed it was 1)Nutrition (Acorn, Ag food, browse) and 2)Genetics. The sunlight exposure is another angle to consider however.

First 2.5-3.5 years, give him another year and he'll be a good one. Second (goofy rack), he's likely 4.5 years and too cool to pass. BB
