Where should I be rifle hunting?? Ariel Photo
Just curious to see what you guys think about the area I rifle hunt. I outlined the thick swamp in yellow.The red outlines a large hardwood highland that was recently hit by some large winds causing alot of downed trees. I think most of the deer are bedding in this area. The light blue outlines a thick tag alder / young tamarack area around a fairly dry marsh. The gray line is the road coming into the area. I take a fourwheeler down this road to get access to the area. The orange "x" marks where my stand was located this hunting season and the pink "x" is where I was baiting. I saw 32 deer during the 9 day rifle hunt one was a fairly nice 8 pointer that I couldn't get a shot at. Where would you guys setup your stand if you were hunting this area?
