Which direction do they come from? From what I can tell from the pic. must be from the south. I'd have to walk the creek and find the crossings. I love creek crossing's. What's it look like at the "Y" in the creek. I love big rubs and rub lines but IMHO they're a relatively low percentage place to hunt. I put them in the category of nocturnal sign.

the Y in the creek is a mostly mullflower rose. theres some good creek crossings but Ive never hunted em. I might give em a try this year though. Theres some really thick timber on the property. The owners made several logging trails that go all the way to the creek but the deer dont use them. Ill keep in mind the rub lines may be ran at night. I do believe the deer bed to the south and some bed to the west as well. Ill get a pic of the entire area including the other properties and a topo map as well. I cant read maps very well to pick out potential key places, so hopefully somebody can help.

I would say create a bedding area for them, if you want them on your land...give them some good cover and put your stand between the bedding area and their food source...happy shooting

I'd rather hunt pinch points in travel corridors anyway.
