Default Topo Map of my area

I am currently reading " Mapping Trophy Bucks" by Brad Herndon. It is a great book so far.

I was wondering what you guys see as potential stand sites, by using his method. Do you guys see natural funnels, saddles etc. Here is a topo map of my hunting area. Basically I can hunt everything inside the red.

Thanks

Everything in the yellow box is going to be very steep. You have what looks like would be a marshy area down around Demond Pond. The lines in blue would give you the easiest avenues of approach for animals wanting to get to the hilltop within your hunting area. If you can find a place around where the "A" is in RUTLAND, I would seriously look at that area for putting up a stand. I think that would be your best bet (without going out and walking the area myself).
