Anyone have advice on hunting lowlands? My property has a small creek at the lowest level and then rises 400 to 600 feet to the top of the hill. It is wooded for at least 20-30 feet on each side of the creek then opens to a field which is 50-60 yards at its widest. Then it is all woods to the top. A few times in the past I have tried to set up in a couple places at the edge of the field and I have always been busted. There are two main trails that cross the creek and it seems that a lot of the deer come down the hill from either side of the valley to get a drink. Then they head back up the hill.
I'd like some tips on wind and thermals. Is it best to set up there in the morning or the evening? It seems like scent would drift upward in the morning as the heat rises. Would it be best to hunt this area on a foggy or damp morning?
Thanks in advance for any tips you can give me...
