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!

Re: Beds and setups
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.

Re: Beds and setups
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.
