Beaver ponds are great, they attract all kinds of wildlife. I like to hunt so the wind blows my scent over the pond. No chance a deer can get down wind of you. Maby even a stand on both sides, for two different winds. Don't worry about them noisy old Frogs, They won't get you

You may think i am stretching it a bit but seriously this does work. Use the frogs to your advantage. I have done this in the past and it works great. Ever notice when u walk near the frogs they shut up and won't make a peep. Well same goes with animals. If the frogs quit croaking, get ready something is around and hopefully headed your way. good luck

I'd be looking for a fnnel around the bog. If it's open deer won't want to cross it durring the day. If you can find a spot where there is a narrow crossing or around the ends is often a good spot to find concentrated deer movement.

I've also been hearing about bears in the southern part of the state. I talked to a guy(at walmart getting his liceness) who hunts somersworth and he also said the land owners where he has permission to hunt have seen bears lately.
