help me pick a spot
#1
OK guys i did some more scouting. This time in a new area.
I new there was bean field when i drove by the other day, But i was surprised and happy by what i found.
I walked through about 20 yards maybe 30 of woods to come to the first field.
It is about 900 feet long by 300 wide. It has a hill which would allow a ml or shotgun hunter to get a shot on the entire field.
Then there is a second strip of woods about 10 yards wide.
It has a few well used trails one with alot of tracks and poop.
But do to it being narrow there is no good tree to use for a stand unless you have the deer coming right at you.
Then there is a larger field of beans to the south it has a hill which would allow you to see/shoot any deer in about two thirds of the field.
There are lot of tracks and poop in the field. I think it is the field the bigger deer use since it had bigger tracks in it.
Then there is a third strip of wood about 20 or 30 yards wide with some tree that would give you a 5 to 10 yards shot broadside.
I has two trails that are use alot i mean alot. they have been wore down to the point they could become creeks.
Then there is a third small field. which is only 81 feet wide i would think it could be a good bow field
OK now here is where i need some help. where should i use my ground blind maybe a tree stand. But i think my spot down the road would be better for the stand.
I am wanting a spot for both ml and bow hunting.

also guys to the west from the road to the back of the fields is a corn field but i can not hunt it.
But i can hunt the tree line dividing the corn and beans.
also the nearest water is about 1000 feet south of the fields

Kinda hard to tell from the goodle map. WIthout seeing actual pictures and knowing more sign of what you found from scouting. If I had to randomly choose put me in that cover at the very end of the finger, int he first good tree, idealy 5-10yards off the field. Good luck!

i got a lot of pics i even took video running circles around the fields from the middel hills. i will post some tonight or tomorrow.
As for signs i found alot of poop in the second field and the third strip of woods. i did not see any scraps or rubs. but alot of tracks big tracks.
I did not see any deer.

What are the dark areas to the southwest? Coming off these dark areas is a dark line that extends to the south of the bean fields. Are these ridges?
I would try to find the most likely bedding area and scout trails coming into the bean field from that area.
