You also need to remember that a big buck will not normally follow the trail that does and smaller bucks are using unless it;s during the rut and he;s out cruising for does.
Yeah, this is Minnesota, so it's probably similar.
There are some scattered trees in the swamp, but I don't know if the ground is really that much higher. It would be pretty wet for him if he went to the trees out the middle of it. I'm not sure if I'd call any of them "islands" in the deer hunting sense of the word.
I feel like they have too many bed options in here that are thick and impossible to access. I'm not really sure where to hit them outside of a few funnels leading to and from.
