Super_hunt, I'd like to try what you're recommending as far as setting up on a water source. There is a very small fresh water stream running through the general area. There are also several marsh / bog areas nearby. Am I in for another guessing game, or will they prefer a stream provided it's not too far out of the way? I've seen tracks near the stream before, but it's beyond my skill level to determine how recent tracks in the mud are.

Speaking of tracking, I'd love to try to use that to find out where main travel corridors are, as well as identify bedding areas. I have a very hard time following tracks. It's all big timber so there is a thick, decaying layer of leaf liter everywhere. Now there are also brand new leaves falling everywhere. Maybe I should hang up the bow for this season and just practice tracking.
