Where would you hunt on this property?
#1
This is the property I hunt and i just want to see where other people would hunt by looking at this if they were going to hunt it for thier first time. Can hunt everything inside the white and all the fields are corn.

To me it looks like a good spot would be right where the creek converges and makes a T, either that or where that creek dumps into that field. Look for some deer sign, especially rubs and scrapes around those convergances. In the smaller section it might be condusive to try and hunt where those two fields come together and meet the big timber. Like I said you gotta look for some deer sign and see what's best first. But from the topo, that looks kinda good. Also if you've got topos that show elevation that would really help. Is the land flat or hilly? that could have a big impact on where to place stands.

Looks like you have several good funnel areas on this property. One that jumps right out at me from looking at your photo is the narrow patch of hardwoods between the two fields in the bottom V on your map.
When I'm studying aerial photo's to narrow down the search, I will look for funnels. If you have a topo map that you can also use a reference, you can get a real good idea of areas that are funnels.
All the narrow stretches between the fields could also be good spots.
Walk the edges of the fields where you think the deer might be feeding at night, and look for tracks where they enter the fields. Then (allowing for the wind), you can setup a stand back in the woods near those places.
Hope this helps.

Check out the areas I highlighted in red. These are the areas I would focus my scouting on if I were you.
