Okay, for fear of sounding stupid, I've never asked this, but how do you guys pick the spots you've outlined here? Why would you pick one slope over another? Or why one side of a point over another? Because of wind direction?
It's just based on "likely" deer travel routes (based on terrain features). They're creatures of habit....and they'll utilize certain terrain features over others more times than not.

If I were looking at it (and had never been in there....which is a true scenario).....these are the travel routes I'd choose....




I saw your first post and chose 1 spot.. if I was to hunt it for 1 day.

Then.. I found that you answered your own Q.

Just above the 850 mark (to the right). 2 white lines pinch to chase the side of the ridge at the top of the creek bed. As close to the red line of the property boundary.. with a shot that can be reached to that thick green.

Classic. And I would venture to guess the bucks have rubbed that thick stuff well. Or insane!
