Now this is a good ole fashioned hunting post!!! Is the area fenced in? How wide or thick is that hedgerow? Where do you see the most sign during rut? When do they harvest the crops in relation to your season opening? How swampy is the swamp...is it constantly wet or is it just a good thick,wooly area? I kinda like the area where the hedgerow runs into the swamp. What about a stand where they connect or even 20-30 yards down the hedgerow where you could get shots into both corners and get a good visual on the deer working the edges of the swamp and feed fields. It depends on the size of the hedgerow but it could be a could transitional funnel for deer going to the swamp or heading over to the alfalfa field. You would have to be a stickler on scent control but that shouldn't be a problem. I agree with you about hunting the edges in a situation like this though. If you go tromping around through there to the middle where you have a stand more than a few times, then IMO the biggin's will search for greener pastures. Once they harvest crops and disc the ground up, those oaks you mentioned might be a nice spot to set up. One thing is for sure, if it is a safe haven, and it sounds like it is, I wouldn't "over hunt" it if possible. The less pressure the better. Try to scout them from afar pre-season and get a stand in weeks before the opener. Come opening morning, you'll be waiting at the back door for him sneaking in to bed at first light. Good luck!
