I walked a new piece of land last night for possible hunting this fall. It is public land and close to home, 5 min. I found a very interesting spot and wanted to ask you guys about it. What I found was what looked like a drainage run. It runs from a high, flat, mostly grassy area down to a swamy area that continues to a lake. Now the lake a swamp is off limits, but the drainage area and the grassy area are all good. My question is this: Whould this be a good set up? The ditch is about 12 to 15 foot deep (no water). It is about 8 feet wide at the bottom and shows a decent amout of game traffic. At the end of the ditch I found very fressh deer scat. What my thoughts are this, hunt this from the edge of the ditch, above. What are your thoughts and with being this high already, do I need to put up a tree stand or should I just build a natural ground blind?
