I need some help with some stand placement ideas on public land. We are going tomorrow morning to put up our stands. I haven't been able to do some scouting do to work and it being 2 hours south of me. This will be my 3rd year hunting.
My first year I shot a nice doe at the light green spot labeled #1, I saw 7 doe total that morning (my first time hunting, only hunted 1 day of season do to work). Last year I hunted this area 2 days first shotgun season, labeled #2, and did not see any deer. We hunt other areas 2nd and late season.
The light grey spots with letters are areas I'm thinking of placing my stand. I hope to get another stand or 2 before shotgun season starts.
The light blue areas are water.
I can hunt anywhere in the red.
If you have any better ideas than what I have here please let me know, I'm still trying to learn.
This is the area without my marks:
This is the area if you wanted to put in Google maps to zoom in or out:
Iroquois County, Pembroke, Iroquois, Illinois 60958
Thank you for any help, like I said I'm still trying to learn.
