Default Stand Placement Suggestions

Any suggestions as to good spots to us climber stand. Red lines are basically old logging trails and atv trail. Blue dots are previous stand locations. Yellow dots are where I saw to good bucks last year, heading in direction of orange dots, around at approximately 6:45 a.m.

East is a marsh. Dark wooded strips where bucks were spotted are actually ridges with brooks. A lot of deer sign around these ridges. I Usually set up about 20 to 30 yards from top of ridge when I hunt these areas.

I would try on top of some of the ridges that come up from the creek.Especially if acorns are dropping there.And stay a little farther from the trail if it gets much use at all.

When I had the buck sighting closest to the marsh, I was about60 yards from the the buck which was at the bottom of the ridge. I did a few grunt calls and waited. About 20 minutes later I wa being snorted at from my right just inside the tree line opposite from where the buck headed. But saw nothing.

Thanks for the tip..I'm looking for my first harvest.
