The creek bottom (black line) is in a small ravine which is slightly lower elevation than its surroundings. My stand is the white box with an X in it. The second map gives a better view of the surroundings without being labeled. Any input would be great!!
I would say so, yes. One thing I see though is that judging from the pic, the woods are still fairly thick in there, with your spot being perhaps 100 yards from the field edge. Thats fine, but if they are following that creek, you may want to get up a little closer to that pinch point between the grass pasture and the hay field where the woods squeeze them down into a more concentrated area. That way if they are not exactly hugging the creek you have a better chance at getting a shot within 30 yards. Kind of hard for me to be certain of that since I have never set foot in your woods, but it's just an observation.
