Great looking spot early and the prove is right there - looks ideal to kill a biggun especially when the others start pressuring the land

Hardwood forests where they transition from one type of cover to another, kind of like inside edges of cover--even though I would love to hunt on field edges and kill big bucks like the guys on the videos do.....the reality for me is that 99% of the bucks where I hunt would not be caught dead walking in the daylight hours of a field....and even if I had a choice, I love the big woods and beautiful scenery that goes along with it.

wished I had a pic of one of latest spots - It is a narrow strip of Oaks that leads out into the field- there is a drainage ditch that runs from the end of this strip to the road - perfect funnel, they use the ditch for cover, coming out of the cutover and I am right at that point - killed three does there and another fellow killed a huge 10 point there last Nov

Thanks, I really love the spot. I'm having trouble posting one more pic. I'll try again. Finally.



It's very surprising how little pressure this spot gets. These pics were taken after I shot my 7pt and spooked a 10pt.:D:D

Where the deer are at, generally 200 or 300 hundred yards off a field.

around here in southern wisconsin hunting edges is basically all we do. Most woodlots are less than 60 acres so you almost have to hunt the edges to avoid busting the whole woods. As for my favorite set ups, i love a stand next to a standing corn field. Never can tell whats gonna come out when that corn starts rustling.
