Picked my spot for my first hunting experience
The place where the above dark image is is the yellowish square dear the blue square *deer stand location. The lighter blue is the creek not on our property but a source for the deer none the less. . My uncles land is in red, and my grandmothers is in blue. There are more trails not marked in green but I did notice it seems the trails hug the brush and foliage that is present in the fall. For cover of course and the old rusty wire fence sort of created a natural direction of travel as there are tons of scat all over in the green areas. I have had many deer signs are images taken from every portion of the land where I have narrowed down there traffic areas. Basically I stopped with the green traffic trails as they criss cross all over. I just mainly tried to get the main ones figured out when there was a brief snow in Feb. and now I am seeing if any movement has changed. By the scat I basically just have to pick a spot and see what happens.
This shows the creek area I circled in light blue.
You can see that there is more open area on the road just outside of my grandmothers property closer to the actual creek.
not a bad thing as they should be using the more brushy area near my stand that looks like this somewhat.
Last December and January I got tons of movement up and down the cut out gas line. I am hoping I can just catch a few going to get a drink
This guy would be nice....
but I'll settle for the meat
