Default help me pick a spot guys

OK i posted this on bow hunting but since this will be both a bow site and my main muzzle loader sight i thought i should get you black powder guys to help me to.

I will be using the site for both bow and muzzle loader hunting from a ground pop up blind. i might make some limb built stands for those hard to get to spots
OK what you guys need to know not in the post below is this is on three bean fields with a corn field to the west
there is alot of dropping and trails in the field and wood strips dividing the fields.


OK i went and scouted the area with the bean fields again.
I went to the east of the fields to see if i could find some water or the bedding area.
I found a ridge about 20 or 30 yards in from the second field.
I climbed the hill. Then it dropped about 20 feet into a area or depression what ever you want to call it.

Which was about 40 yards deep and i would say 50 long.
It was clean of most Grass there was some weed grass about 8 to 0 inches high but not very thick. There were alot of trees. it was mainly shaded and about 10 degrees colder then out in the field i think due to all the shade.
There were trail that ran north to south, some ran east to west some went around the border of the semi cleared area. And some seemed to just room around in circles.
A few trails ran up over the hill into the fields and some went around the ridge to the south into a thicker area. Not a thicket but just a thicker area.
There seemed to be a creek bed that was dried up the deer where using to get to the strip of woods after the second field.
There were a few trail to the south of the area that went of or around the ridge to the third small field.
I did not find any droppings in the area which seems odd due to the hundreds of tracks there.
I saw one set i followed around the west south edge that was large the biggest i have ever seen. I wear a 154e shoe and they were near as big as the front of my shoe. Each huff was big and they had a good space between them.

I know this was long but help me out guys i need it .
