Default Photo and topo gurus........lets hear your thoughts

I have posted pics here in the past of my family property but haven't gotten much feedback. This property has been in the family for almost 70 years however I have not hunted it until the 2005 season. Previous to that my father owned another farm a few towns away that we hunted hard so it wasn't necessary to hunt here. Just finishing up my second season on it, I have a good handle on the movement but still learn something new every time I hunt it.

Wind primarily blows towards the northeast. Sometimes in the evenings (rarely) it will blow towards the south/southwest. I do have 12 stands currently on the property but still haven't had time to hunt them all and there are lots of them that have only been hunted 1-2 times. Deer population is dense here, I personally know of about 7 antlered bucks that were seen here this year, as well as 7 different family groups of doe/fawns.

I can update pics later with the sign that has been seen on this property but am curious to see what others would focus on and why.

Green dots represents foodplots that are mixed between summer/fall/winter forage types, and red dots represent apples. The property was a 500+ acre orchard so there are lots of apples mixed in to the woods in various places that still drop occasional apples from year to year.
