I would look into an evening spot in the finger of hardwoods. I would set up where the finger starts out of the hard woods. It looks like the back corner of the field is pretty well "hidden". Easy to get to for the afternoon stand! The morning I would look for trails coming OFF the field going to bed area and set up far away from the field so you don't spook the deer going to your stand in the morning.
I'd have to do alot of scouting, looks like a good piece of land! Good luck!

Where i have seen alot of deer this season from was the northeast corner(top left) but i really never thought of settin up in the finger there isnt much cover in there im not fur sure but i think its maybe a total of 30-40yd wide an maybe 80yd long but i think ur idea would work there. Set up in the start of the finger an have shootin lanes out into the fields an inside the finger. Thanks for ur post u guyz are makin me like this land even more knowing how i could use this land to its max.

remember your enter and exit route to your stand.you don't want to spook everything going in and out.

its a tough choice but just by looking at it i would hunt at the end of that little nub of trees that come out into the field at the top

I would ask for a topographical map as well!

arrow_slinger32,
Looks like you have some nice hunting ground. Myself, I'd be hunting the spots I've marked on your map. Everyone has given great advice, If you can find a spot or two where the deer cross the road & river/creek your well on your way to busting a nice buck. After you've located these crossings find where they fork off into different directions, then look for any light trails that cross them in the opposite direction. These lightly used trails will be from bucks cross checking the main trail's for hot doe's, what you want to do is setup your stand to the southeast of the buck's trail at about 15-20yrds. Buck's travel these routs all year & you never know when one might come by looking to get a drink before going to feed. The stand to the West near the road also looks like a great crossing spot & the place to be during the rut, doe's get nervous during the rut & like to travel, any hot doe that crosses there is going to have bucks following them.

Another good reason to setup on or near the river/creek is 1) Before & after a deer feeds they will usually get a drink before bedding. 2) Bucks like to travel along waterways scent checking main trails looking for hot does. 3) Low bottom ground will usually be one of the last spots with fresh growth near & around them for deer to graze on. 4) It provides a near silent way of accessing your stand without leaving much human scent & spooking the deer.

You can learn a lot from a good Ariel photo & a topo map, it helps if they are generally the same size. That way you can find the high ground & the most likely spots for trails & bedding areas without ever having to actually step foot into the woods.

Good Luck, Phil B.
