Default Analyze my hunting land

I would like to get some input on where I should be hunting on this piece of property (located in MN). This year the farmer planted corn on all of it. This makes it to hunt the small field on the Eastern side of the property. I plan on bowhunting, muzzleloader hunting, and maybe shotgun hunt during the second week of firearm season. The majorit of the property is a mixture of Oak, popplar, maple, and alder. The yellow circles represent ground blinds and tree stands. The blue circles represent swamps, which are mostly dry.

What are the prevailing winds during the season? How many acres? Anyheavily used runways going through the property? Rub Lines? It would nice to see adjoining pieces of property too.

The wind is usually from the NW or North, the propertyis 160 acres. The purple dots represent major deer trails and the red dots represent rub lines I have found in the past.

Man that's a tough call, they all look pretty good. I would say theSWstandis my least favorite of the 4 you have, but really, I think any of them would rock.

I'd be putting a yellow spot on the far left blue line between them 2 openings in the wood break.

I like the spots you have picked out. I placed an orange dot where I think you my also want to place a stand.
