So the farmer who I have permission to hunt on his land called me and said he was combining corn the other day and spooked up a huge 10+ point buck. Him being a veternarian/farmer leads me to believe he really knows what a big buck is. Only problem is that I have never scouted this area and don't want to go walking through and push him out of my area. Below is a pic of the map and a topo. I am pretty sure his land goes further back but I don't know for sure so I don't plan on chancing it. The pink dot is an idiot who likes to ride his 4 wheeler every evening for a couple hours. The green dot is a tree that the buck has destroyed (top right corner). The blue dot is a big pile of his droppings. Any ideas for a stand placement? Next to the green dot is a great fence opening where I have seen does passing into the corn field. There is also a good trail on the west side where the small point extends into the field.





Any help is Greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Wow my green dot didn't show up... It is in the top right corner of the red box where the finger of woods extends into the field.

On the point in that bottle neck that looks like a smile in the upper half of the property.

i would go by the green dot in the evening and morning cause there seems to be a good trail in there because of the little pond or lake a little north thats where he could be drinkin from then its also close to the scrape.

With the rut kicking in right now, I'd go in the middle of that finger or in the bottom left corner closer to that big section of woods. The bucks aren't really "using" home turf right now, they are crusing and searching out does.

Try the combine.

So i sat in the bottom left tonight and saw a pretty nice buck... unfortunately he never made it inside 30 yards until shooting light was over. I am going to try the finger tomorrow morning

I hunted the finger this morning and had an 8 point duck my arrow at 30 yards.... pissed I missed him but come shotgun season I don't think he can duck a slug

Lets not forget that you have almost 2 weeks. I would try to get in there and see what you can find. If the farmer's been running machinery in the feild then he might not get too spooked if you take a look around. Right in that wooded area that makes a smiley face through the top of the feild is where I would probably try.

Position your stand on that finger of woods facing Southwest. It will allow you to see the entire field, and what looks like 2 trails. Look for other signs of the monster too.
