A few areas i hunt is also big woods with no fields and i was having a hard time trying to find stand locations.One day i was scouting in the bush and came along a big stand of pines and cedars,with a swamp at the back end.A little farther it opened up into a hardwood ridge with visible deer trails .It turns out to be my #1 spot to sit and watch as i always see deer there in the morning or late afternoon or evening hunts.The deer would be bedding down in the cedars and pines as its real thick cover for them and would come into the open hardwoods to feed on the low lying foilage.If you have any areas with that sort of description,check it out,you wont be discouraged
