Some are unfamilliar with my hunting area. So a little back ground:

I live on a farm, which we used to farm, but now is dedicated to food plots, and hunting. Though we still have cattle, our farming land has been dedicated to wildlife. We have 300 acres (on our home farm), with 120 or so tillable. We have 10 food plots planted this year, as a buddy and I started a plotting buisness. We have everything you can think of. Corns, beans, and an assortment of oats, peas, brassicas, sun flowers...etc. Our plan is to draw them out of the swamp.

My best stand is on a ridge, boardering a HUGE, I mean HUGE swamp. Basically, most of our stands surround this swamp. In past years, this was very successful. Especially, the ridge set. This swamp has two "humps". Basically ridges in the middle, not very big, but hard wooded. Big enough to hunt.

I've often said I was going IN to hang a stand, but never have because it is near impossible. It is wet, and it would be hard to not spook deer, any time of day. That is where they are.

What say ye? But on the waders (prob) and go in on a hump?

Or bank on them coming to the plots, or chasing does during the rut?

For the record, deer sightings are WAY down, this year.

In the pic, the top mark is a my best stand, the two to the bottom are on the humps.

Thanks.
