Big bucks like to bed along railroad property. Hunting is illegal on them and with no pressure they bed there all the time. I'd be looking at that fingertip right above and left of the 700' contour line first. Then, I would give some serious consideration to the southwest corner of the property. Good luck brother.

I take it you were able to find that mapping tool Seth
Here are some of the places I may look. As already stated the Bluff along the river to the East is a good starting point. This ridge that is perpendicular to the bluff looks like a great spot to key in on as any deer moving north south will have to either cross the ridge in that little saddle or go around. Any deer that cross at the saddle are likely to be funneled up the two draws or creek beds that are also marked as that will probably give them the best cover while they're moving.


Not seeing the property on foot, these two dark dots CLOSEST to the "700" would be my 2 best bets. Afterthat, I'd be looking to the NE at a 50* angle and hunting justsouth and eastwhere that dot is peeking at the flat and the creek to the east.
