i marked two areas in red that would be funnel areas that deer might use when coming out of the bottoms and into the fields to feed at night. i marked where i would my stands in yellow. Just my opinion.

RE: Where would you Hunt
I personally like the chunk of woods in the bend of the river as wall as the small corridors highlighted by previos posts. Hard for me to say without putting feet on the ground an looking for sign though. Good luck.
P.S. if you'll fly me out there and let me hunt I'll put you on the best spot on the property

RE: Where would you Hunt
You just can't say, where would you hunt? It would depend on how you get into your stand, where are the deer at that time, time of day(AM or PM). I'd have several spots picked out for all scenerios, always doing the same old thing, trails, travel corridors, time, route in and out etc. None of it is big enough to hold them forever. During the rut I'd sit on those bottlenecs like flies on meat all day long. Early and late season I'd be on the heaviest used trails to and the food. Several good places. Glad to see Rick James zeroed in on the bottleneck at the top for deer crossing the road. That inside corner in the field to the east is good too. OF course what's planted where figures in also. I'd also have several spots along that big woods to the east, depends on trails and travel sign.
P.S. I just saw your South arrow. Forget everything I said about EAST, just replace East with right.[8D]
