I only hunt about an acre at a time. It might be 10 miles from home or shooting out the front or back door. Do you put the orange on your house prior to each season or do you just leave it on year round?

Inherited 183 acres, have access to another 700 acres of family owned lands, another 600-800 acres of neighbors land. Belong to hunt club with 60000 acres, $120 a year. All this is in WV
In Indiana 40 acres of private land that borders HNF. Stopped to ask farmer a couple questions and he invited me to hunt there. But I hunt 99% of time on HNF. Gives me access to HNF that's hard to reach via HNF. Across his property couple hundred yards.

Between my place and friends of mine and/or JDUB's we have 6 different places we can hunt! 5 are 10-15 acre type spots, only one is larger, a couple of hundred acres maybe. Interestingly enough the big property although showing signs of use by deer has not been productive for us; too much field and not enough woods is part of the problem. We may not even bother with it this year. One spot is bow only by landowner's request so we tend to spend a bit more time on it compared to the others during archery. (JDUB got his there last year and the shot on the deer where my bow broke was there as well). My place has been showing good numbers and we picked up a new spot this year we are saving for opening morning of firearms (family both of us have known for a good while bought it); it has not been hunted and it looks really good.

My wife and I inherited 16 acres of the family 80 and bought the remaining 64 mostly wooded acres. It's bordered on 3 sides by more woods and on the fourth by crop land. I'm no spring chicken and at the time wondered if we did the right thing but it has already doubled in value and the grand kids will have a place to hunt for as long as they want.

I live in the Chippewa National Forest and have just over 660,000 acres to use whenever I want..no sign ins, just go and enjoy at my convenience. That's not including other state, federal, county, and tax forfeited properties. Down in Indiana I've got over 800 for sure, some I've had as long as I can remember..all by knocking on doors and helping farmers as a kid growing up. The woods on these properties are sadly getting smaller every year.

and voted for Hillary. Only from the back door. The front door is 4 feet off the ground. I guess I could open the kitchen window in back and shoot from the front porch. Then there is also the fact my own hunter orange hat is completely visible both through the window and when the door is open. I have to step outside during gun season. The wife won't let me shoot a gun in the house, just archery. It's an understanding we've come to after 41 years. Only bb guns and archery inside the house. So I guess even though I ignore it, it's because I'm not cheating.

I believe that in at least one Law Enforcement Officials opinion that is not accurate. It was posted elsewhere on this site that a CO was asked and responded that if you were hunting from your house you needed the orange on it.

Not many houses in the state of Indiana are built on stilts but you are correct...I assumed it was a traditional build style house with footers and foundation.

When I assume or guess things I make it a habit of stating such clearly. When I say something is so, I say that because I KNOW. When I find I am wrong I acknowledge it and correct it as quickly as possible in order to cut the opportunity for aggravation as short as possible. If it's sarcasm beyond the ability of the target to recognize, I may just play with them pulling their wings off one at a time and putting them back in the jar to see just how long they can last.
