Brandon you're most likely right....and especially with the beans being in such close proximity, now. That upper red arrow area is REALLY thick. We couldn't walk through there....but the deer have little "cave-like" trails all through there.

The south side of the creek is AWESOME hardwoods....and though the creek doesn't show up on the aerial.....it's a roaring little creek. They have EVERYTHING they'd need in there even after the beans are gone.

Wouldn't you guys think the little, thin area where the terrain levels out a little.....south of the creek and east of my eastern-most yellow lines (within the red area)would be a good bench to hunt for the mast crops, there? What about the ridge on top.....just SE of there (where the red line intersects)?
