Beds and setups

Unread postby JohnnieU » Sun Sep 21, 2014 12:05 am

The map is a farm I am hunting this fall. I didn't have access in spring and had a limited scouting trip this summer so many of the setups will be based on the map and structure instead of known beds...its the only option I have for this fall . The property is very thick and with all the foliage I didn't find too many beds this summer, the one exception is the large north facing point, there was a lot of doe bedding all over the point. I have marked where I think the buck beds should be with blue dots and my potential stand locations in orange.

What do you guys think of the beds and set-up locations? I'm still not sure how to set-up on bucks dropping down to the field in the valley in the evening, so I am mostly concentrating on setting up where the points meet the main ridge. I am planning on hunting each bed/setup with leeward wind by setting up off-wind on the point and realize the east wind setups will not see too much action, but need to have a plan should I have an east wind. The ridge is narrow, side-hills steep and crops in the bottom.

Thanks for any ideas!

Your initial plan looks good to me... Try and get as close as possible. Some of the set ups seem a bit back to far, but from my chair I can't see how thick it actually is.

Thanks Dan. It actually is pretty thick so I will try to push closer, this is still new to me and I need to build some confidence.
