Where would u hunt on my land?(PIC)
 

If u guy were hunting where i was were would u set up ur stands/ground blinds? Both fields are harvested corn but not tilled. I just want to see where some of u really good hunters would sit for a day. I hope to get some feed back on this.

I wouldn't hunt without scouting and looking for sign and that would pretty much dictate stand location. But just looking at that picture, the 3 inside corners depending on the wind could be good. Especially if you're just looking to harvest any deer.

If im reading the map correctly i would be hunting the ditch.Probably on the left side bordering the bush.Would work as a natural funnel.

Just from taking a quick look at the aerial photo, that small strip of woods on the left of your property which acts as a funnel between the two larger patches. I'd set up about 15 yards back in the woods, giving me the ability to shoot 10 or 15 yards into the field, as well as covering as much of the strip as I could simultaneously.

If the top of the pic is north I would hunt that west side where the land narrows. It is a natural funnel for both of those patches of woods. Looks like there might be a creek running into there also. Good luck.

I also like the funnel on the left of photo. Also, the finger of timber that sticks out into the field looks worth checking out. Nice area for deer to stage in the evening before entering the field.

Thanks for all the good feed back. Ya Fletch920 ur right that finger is there staging area i killed a button buck in oct. he was heading north(top) an greased him. But never really took a look at that West side of my land. Im goin to set a few stands up there an hunt there the rest of the week.

Bambie----a little advice on the name. Please don't take offense but that term has caused a ton of negative publicity to the hunting community. I know it is tongue in cheek but since you only have a few posts, no harm in giving it some consideration. Might want to consider a new one.

RE: Where would u hunt on my land?(PIC)
 

well now i think of it. that is a offensive name.(this is bambie killer) So i took ur advice an got a new one. Well i hope some more ppl will help me out with this topic im goin hunting 2day at like 1 till dark so give me some ideas im open for anything.

RE: Where would u hunt on my land?(PIC)
 

Hey Arrow Slinger---welcome back to the boards under your new name. I'm glad you took my advice for what it was. I hope I didnt offend you.

With that said, I would put a stand in that little patch of woods between the creek and the fields where the field juts in to the wood line. Not knowing the area that seems like a decent place to start.

Thanks for being cool about my suggestion.

Good luck and let us know how you do.

RE: Where would u hunt on my land?(PIC)
 

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.

RE: Where would u hunt on my land?(PIC)
 

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

RE: Where would u hunt on my land?(PIC)
 

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

RE: Where would u hunt on my land?(PIC)
 

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.
