Hunting flat riverbottoms
Me and my buddy hunt about 150 to 200 acres of completely flat riverbottom in west central Illinois. There are some huge bucksand alot of other deerbut trying to pattern them at any time is difficult because the land doesn't have any rolling hills or creek bottoms or ridges like alot of hunting spots and is almost 100% timber. It has areas where it gets pretty thick with weeds and thicker ground coverand then other areas thatare almost completly open through the trees. The deer also don't really follow trails deeper in the timber when the weeds die down which makes them difficult to pattern. They kind of just walk where they want to. The guy that owns the land does usually mow roads through the weeds that the deer sometimes travel and love to make scrapes on, but the usually make them at night.
Do any of you guys hunt land similair to this or have any tips to hunt this promising land?
