Help with this map.....
 

I hunted here today, and this was my first time on this land. The black dot is where I set up, and I did see 1 decent buck and 17 doe, just nothing close enough to shoot.

By looking at this picture, I am wondering where any of you may set up?

RE: Help with this map.....
 

I see a saddle about 1 inch; 4 o-clock. I would set up there. You would be set up between the field and the black dot.

Good luck

If that is a ridge top clearing about 2" to the right of your dot, I would set up on a trail leading to it if there is any good browse in there.

10-4

Also say your dot is to the north, southeast of that is a funnel between two openings. This is a natural bottleneck and I bet a good travel route.

Ditto..

put your arrow clicker thing on the right side of your black dot and drag down to the lil finger that comes out of the big woods and divides the 2 fields. looks like a hot spot to me and you could probally hunt with various wind directions

mobowhuntr, not knowing the topography and the location of food and bedding areas, I've tried to highlight a few areas I would check out. The yellow highlighted areas look like saddles in the topography that would be good to check on. The orange highlighted area seems to be a conversion of travel corridors that would be good to check out. Good luck!

looks to me there isn't to many trees around on this land. if thats the case i would set up in the trees just east of your position. also just for shi#s and giggles i may go down to the south east were you have trees/thickets bordering the roads and buildings. I've seen a lot of deer bed close to this type of environment. not really quiet but very little hunting so close to the buildings.

I kinda like where those two windbreaks are converging toward that inside corner about 2" directly below your dot .

WOW! Tough question being it is almost impopssible to tell what land looks like just from an aerial map if you have never been there.

If you saw 18 deer from the black dot, I would be really tempted to stay there though. If anything at all, I do think that I would move closer to where I saw the decent buck though if he was really far away.

There's lots of trees jimmy. Aerial shots are taken in winter and all the deciduous trees have lost thier leaves. Just about the whole map to the north and east of the dot are trees. The dark ones are the conifers/evergreens, that still have needles/leaves.

I like the other suggestions and would add that if those evergreens to the north of your dot are coming down a slope to the corner then I'd move my dot to the west and be at the base of those. They would provide protected travel from the ridgetop down to the field and hardwoods.

Mo bow they all gave good suggestions but if I was you, I would get up in the green waterslide and do some scouting from there.:D

ROTFLMAO!!! Was wonderin when you would respond.....:D

Where the 17 deer and the decent buck were. It doesn't get much more positive than that. It's not rocket science. Go where the deer are.

Yep looks like a winner
