davidmil,
I get as far away as I can. My best stand isjust off the lip ofan oak ridge ,at the foot ,and down wind of a large bedding area made up of Christmas Tree size pines and grape vines.There is also a bedding area to the north on the ridge.It's the southern most edge of the property.I stay far enough away so I'm not seen coming and going. My entry is straight up the hill. The property is made up of reclaimed strip mines that have grown up pretty well,that's where the bedding area is above me. What you would see on an arial is the hill tops in reclaimed cover and the hill sides and bottoms are matrue and second growth timber. It's a pretty text book set.
But the pressure keeps the deer above me until almost dark. Should I move closer to the bedding area and leave the side hill trails and oaks?
