I am having a hell of a time placing my treestand. The spot I have my treestand up looks perfect and has sign but I am giving it 2nd thought because there is so much property. I have my stand in the woods 60 yards down wind from a hay field and there is a 50 ft drop in elevation from field to open spot in woods. Along side of river, my side, there is a goat path and im thinking it may create a funnel, but up stream from that in woods there is also acorns. To my right is a small river where deer are crossing and 140 yards in back of me is another field. I might be overthinking this but it is driving me crazy. Help please? Below I have posted a drawing to help better understand question . Sorry I am a fish farmer and not a artist, lol.

Make a cheap mspaint pic and it might be easier for people to understand.

Sounds like you need multiple stand setups to take advantage of food available and wind options and access without spooking them.

Go to the acorns...

go to the acorns. you need atleast another stand. I think you are in a good spot but another stand will def help.

Looks like a good morning location where your stand is currently. The wind is gonna kill you in the evening. With a bow, i would set up by the acorns. With a gun, I would set up near the point in the field.

I agree with comments already made,your present setup looks good and another stand near the acorns would give you a good optional spot. I know what your going through because this year I have more spots and more decisions to make as well. Stick with what you've got and if it does not work then rethink and move to a different set up.

Thanks appreciate comments especially since I have only been hunting for 2 seasons and am thirsty for knowleadge and know how

you don't need a stand to hunt.......i'm sure there are plenty of ground spots that are just as good......and you won't need a blind either, just pick a tree to sit against that allows you a good view i do it all the time with alot of sucess!
