RE: Question about scouting area.
Yeah I would post up just inside of one of the fields...whichever one is heavier used....and this way you can see if you need to make adjustments to the stand spot by glassing with binoculars. I hunted some public land like this...saw deer 4 out of 5 times. Coulda shot a doe, and a buck ran up to my stand the first day before I even got my bow up. Good Luck
