i have gotten permission to hunt this ground this year.... i drove by the field (towards the south where i want to put 1 stand in) and saw a 160 and 150 inch deer messing around with a doe, which was awkaward because it is only august... maybe they just got spooked or something... but i want to know if u like where these stands are.. if not please give me some ideas where to put them and why... i greatly appreciate it

Ok Pal I gave it my best shot but please make sure you play the wind the best you can. The red box with the yellow in it name it the fraley stand and let me know if you get one there? I like that one because sometimes those big boys hide right near a house and everyone goes right by them.
That is a house or some structure correct?

Good Luck and keep us posted please.
P.S.-Also entry and leaving play smart

It looks like you have a really good peice of ground there with a lot of potential......we as bowhunters often look for natural funnels, and its no secret that some of your best hunting will focus around a funnel of some sort, especially during the rut....and this peice of ground is chuck full of them....when I first considered the map and started plotting down points of interest, I had about 14 points of interest...only because you have so many good funnels and points....so, I threw down a couple, but not all points of interest...but as was brought out...be leary about entering and exiting, that will eliminate some points of interest....only because a spot may look good on paper, but after considering wind direction, may not be the wisest to hunt due to spooking your bucks....also, your going to need to fiddle with those fingers that jut down into your food sources....you should almost always hunt where those fingers join the bigger woods and they all converge, but be wise and realize that you won't always be able to do this due to spooking the deer in the fields in early morning....you may want to circle around and come in the back side, hunting a little deeper in the woods in early moring hours...catching them as they funnel through those fingers into their bedding sources....so, though trial, you'll be able to figure which stands are best due to dominant wind direction and also, which areas seem to concentrate the most deer....follow heavy sign and there's almost no way you can go wrong....I'm excited for you, keep us filled in on what becomes of this property...hunt it safe
