Default new area to hunt need some advice

I got a new place to hunt this year and im very familair with the land itself. There is a large tract of woods that is connected to a long round about 30 to 40 feet wide finger of woods. This year both sides of this finger will have corn on both of them. I have a summit climber and im wondering where i should setup. I figure this year with iut being corn, that too will probally be a bedding area wouldnt it? I'm going to try and post a pic of the finger i got from terra serever on here.

my guess without knowing whats south and west of there, would be that they would probably come and go from the south and west,
considering there are roads and farmhouses on the north and east,
also whats directly south? is that a ditch? river?
sounds like you have shelter and food areas, now what about their water source?
no matter what have fun,

i think it worked. the big woods on the right, that is nearly impossible to get in because it is so overgrown and thick with briars, the finger along the top is where the creek is and that area is surrounded by corn on both sides or will be shortly. that pinchpoint(funell) on the top right is where i have seen alot of deer in that area. there is a road to the right of that area.

pinchpoint is about 20 to 30 yards wide. Ive seen alot of mature bucks on thisa land. its bow only and i think only another guy hunts it too. im planning on not going out until end of october, thats usually when i see most action yearly at that time.
