I pondered over how/where to set up for this weekend on the land I recently gained permission to hunt on. If I knew how to show a google earth image of the land I would but I do not know how. But, there is somewhere around 160 acres I was given permission to hunt on. There is a large creek that runs directly through the middle diagonally. The north side of the creek is a mile of open corn field so I definitely didn't want to set up north of creek, south of the creek is 500yds of tree line along the creek and directly across the property line is a smaller 150 yard stretch of thick brush and woods that look over the field. Behind the brush my side of property line is a small corn patch and to right of where i set up is large wooded area and more field. I decided to hunt the very southeastern corner of the property on top of some dozed trees that were dozed years ago that sit right off into the wooded area. They raise me up about fifteen feet and it is simply to climb. I simply nailed a pailet onto some 2x4's up above and I planned on just sitting there looking over the creek's tree line and field and keeping a very close eye on the wooded patch beside me and the trails leading up to it. I chose this location because it gives me an entire shooting range at the wooded area, the creek, and the field and is elevated to give me better shot choice and better view on woods. There were several large rubs and scrapes and a very evident bedding area all around a very wall weeded area.

The reason I am second guessing my location is because I am unfamiliar with the area, but I have already gotten in touch with everyone hunting in that area. Luckily, the guy to the south of me is few hundred yards south hunting with his son he has had 3 trail cameras set up on the land and admitted to seeing several bucks from small to very nice and some nice does. To the east is supposed to 2 hunters about a half a mile away in the woods. My hopes is that I catch a nice one headed in to bed, coming from bed, one being driven from the 4 hunters around me, or one just crossing the field.

What Im really wanting to see/hear is how some of you other guys set up if your looking over a large corn field and you dont have access to alot of timber? Pictures are a plus, etc. Just getting anxcious and nervous and anticipated saturday morning!
