Here is my hunting ground.......
 

Since this is my first year of bowhunting, I thought I would ask your opinion on this ground. What do you think of it?????

The Red is the actual spot that I will be hunting.

The Blue is Field Corn

The Green is Milo

The Yellow is Wheat Stubble

Any suggestions?????

*edit* That "W. 1st Drive" marked on the bottom of the map is NOT there. I don't know why it is on the map.*edit*

lucan awesome piece of property, how many acres is it?

the white dots that i put on the picture look like spots that could produce to me.

Right in the middle of that "star" where all those funnels connect....do you see it?

RE: Here is my hunting ground.......
 

Have you identified where the deer are eating. How about bedding areas? Find those 2 things and set up between them.

RE: Here is my hunting ground.......
 

Looks like a great place Lucan.

Here's a few places I would be giving a close look.

EDIT: I guess me and Rory think alot alike.[&:];)

Ok, the white lines are where the deer generally come out to feed. Weirdly, they have been feeding on the big wheat stubble field. I think that all the green weeds in it are drawing them out.

All along the white dots is where they bed. They bed all along the river.

The big grey dot is where I have put out a patch of Rack Up and a Deer Block(mollasses, corn and some other antler growth stuff in a block)

Last year, the milo field was a corn field, so they traveled across the wheat to get to the corn, feeding as they went.

Rory, I don't know how many acres it is. A family friend owns it, and I have always turkey hunted it, so I don't know how big it is......[&:]

Here is a buck that I saw on it in January.

More info.
Any rubs or scrapes?
You said "deer" are coming out. are these deer bucks or does?
The bucks won't bed with the does. I'm assuming the beds marked are doe beds? any guess where the bucks might bed? They tend to find those little out of the way spots where no one ever bothers them. Sometimes a brushy drainage or hump in wetlands.

RE: Here is my hunting ground.......
 

i would say in the wood line between the small corn field and milo field

RE: Here is my hunting ground.......
 

Before I commit, how do deer respond to Milo? To start, I also agree with solocam.

RE: Here is my hunting ground.......
 

Sorry, I forgot to clarify. That "wood line" is actually just a grass bank with a couple trees on it.

RE: Here is my hunting ground.......
 

Well, it isn't to bad. They don't hit it as hard as corn and soybeans, but after it is cut, it is definitely a food source....

RE: Here is my hunting ground.......
 

looks good. you have a ton of pinch points to work with

RE: Here is my hunting ground.......
 

There are rubs and scrapes all over the place.

As for "deer", I see alot of different ones. Bucks, does and fawns.
