neck4752, the patch of woods you are reffering to is about 30 - 40 yards wide so it does create a pretty good funnell. as far as getting the arial photos they are free. just type in http://terraserver.microsoft.com/ in your address bar. Once you get there click on advanced find and type in your address and bingo. To save it just right click on the image and select save as.

Adams, I must say as of now the hillside along the creek is probably my favorite spot. I am going to check out the area right above the thickets like you said. They are more open woods so I may be able to find a stand location in there. I have a good feeling that alot of deer bed in there I just need to find out where they are coming out so I can cut them off. Thanks for the suggestions.
