Default RE: Scouting Map - Where would you target for Hunt?

I think Dirt2 nailed a few really good spots. (I love that little bridge funnel) Also, I might set up a stand at the eastern most point of that dry arm (where you have labelled "very dry") thereby penetrating the edge of thatheavy cover (without making too much disturbance,and yet getting a good view of deer crossing that dry arm. Initially when hunting a new piece of ground, I like to set up "observation stands", that is, a stand that might be a likely spot for a shot, but more importantly, one where you can see as much territory as possible (ex. although Dirt2 pointed out a great place for the 1st stand he was talkin about, initially I might move it out to the northwest corner of those sparse woods, and sit therewith a good pair of opticswhere I can observe as much as possible)then get closer to where you have observed (hopefully a big boy) consistent deer. Nice map. looks like a great area.
