Default Unconvensional Tactics

This year I set up a stand in a location completley different from anything i have tried before. TypicallyI will set up on a field edge for evening hunting, and deeper in the woods or swamp for morning hunts. My uncle has owned a chunk of swamp land that we have never really hunted since there are very few trees. I decided to take a peek into roadside edge that is really thick with willows and only a couple tall trees. I was surprised to see that the deer have been using this for years there was a 2 foot wide trail worn 2 inches in to the ground, 30 feet from the road. I decided to set a a stand there this year. It seems kinda stupid but then again i have a good feeling about it.The brush is so thickright now that you cant see the stand from the road or vice versa.Unfortuneatly once the leaves fall i will have to remove the stand so that it is not stolen. The deer are crossing the road from the corner of the neighbors woods into the swampthere and moving through the swamp to fields on the other 3 sides of it, Or the are coming from the swamp and moving to the woods. Probably a little of both. Does anybody else have any luck in locations you typically would over look.
