How to pick a spot in heavy woods

Unread postby suds1421 » Mon Nov 05, 2012 11:50 pm

Everyone,

I've always hunted rolling hills so the deer group up to use trails to climb the hills, etc. The current place I have to hunt is wooded, brushy river bottom. It is very flat with almost no change in elevation. The only change is some old dried up river beds. It has 2 small openings with trails crisscrossing the openings. Other than that it is all about the same kind of woods everywhere.

I have included some maps below, the red line indicates the boundries of the parcel. The Green line indicates a logging road and the blue line indicates the access road.

Just was wondering where you would setup on this parcel?

I would hunt with my back to the river and a North wind.
