Default Help me hunt the creek bottom

The farm I hunt in IL has a small creek on it that runs the length of the woods, approx 1/2 mile. The crop fields are above the creek with ridges running down to the creek. I know the deer like to travel in the bottom along the creek, some real thick stuff in there. But the wind tends to swirl in the bottom so I only hunt it when there is a strong wind that blows parallel with the creek. I have been busted there a few times with light winds. I usually end up setting up on a ridge that leads to the fields. But I seldom pick the right one. Any ideas on some new approaches to hunt down in the bottom along the creek? Or do I only get to hunt it a few times a year?
