Buckeye (Scott) & Doubled.......
Except for Buckeye's green dot.....ALL the other stand placements he picked are off the property I have access to.
They don't allow you to hunt more than 30 yds into the woods down there?
They do, rybo
....I just thought these would be good places to start.....and move inward as I find their travel routes, better. These are starting points. I like Scott's green dot, but I thought I could observe from the outskirts before going right into the heart of the woodlot.
One more thing Jeff,
I would pay attention to the 2 small fields on the SE corner of the map. It's more remote and should see more daytime activity. Especially on the downwind sides if the does are present in the fields.
Archer....if you mean the SWEST corner....I'd agree with you 100%. There's a stand in that field (hedgerow)right now that I need to see who it belongs to....and when he'll be hunting the fields. They aren't on the property I have accesss to.....so I can only hunt the travel routes to and from the field(s).
I would hunt in that area just north(about an inch)of the third stand from the left where thefield really pinches down the timber for an all day rut area funnel,it appears as though this wouldbe a great travel route for bucks midday during the rut as it connects two bigtracts.Of course assuming you can hunt this area.
Bhunter....there's actually an old house in that spot. The old lady never goes anywhere (my landowner's sister....and the owner of the adjacent property)....and I KNOW they travel through there. I've seen them from my in law's house. That stand I have in the middle of that woodlot is about as close as I can get....but I LIKE THE WAY YOU'RE THINKING!
Spot on.
