Bill, I also bow hunt on my 42 ac. property. Behind my 19 ac lake and 4 ac bean field I have approx. 5 ac of bush attached to the neighbors A. 10 ac. of bush totally approx 15 acres as the woodlots jump from farm to farm along a major hwy like your interstate hwy. There are no gullies close by so the deer travel from bush lot to bush lot. The only problem with mine is that the deer use my area as a bedding area inside the core, therefore I hunt the perimeter away from this sensitive area. Best of luck as I will start soon, once all my little projects are completed.
