No problem. I don't live too far away and use to work not far from there. Some big deer to be found in them swampy areas. If you look on dgif website they have a short description of the area and also a basic map.

I would look for a natural funnel near the water. Then figure out the paths used from bedding area and also a food source.

I got a small natural spring on the property I hunt. Small 3 foot wide and couple feet deep ditch but water is 1ft wide and 2 inches deep. They will walk this ditch instead of just jumping over it and I got a stand at the end of the ditch where it goes to a swamp. Kinda funny to watch. Now if you spook them yes they will basically walk on water and clear the swamp which is 200 yards wide to the other side.
