North is at the bottom of the picture.
Wind was out of the WEST-SWest for this hunt. My plan was to attempt to hunt a buck that I had thought may be on the point of the mountain. I also wanted to position myself between him and the primary annual scrape as well as the food, just off wind. My wind was flying right over the ridge out toward the river.
Here is the Key:
Light Red = Entry Path
Dark Red = Property I can hunt
Aqua = Water
Yellow = Potential Buck Bedding
Orange = MY STAND SETUP
BLUE = Annual Primary Scrapes
Magenta = My other stand set ups
Green = historical deer movement I have seen
Things I feel I did right:
1.) Found a bedding point, not necessarily a buck bed
2.). Tried to get as close to bed as possible
3.) Found satellite beds near point
Things I suck at:
1.) I did not pinpoint a "kill" tree and was kind of wondering around aimlessly looking for a tree before my evening sit
2.) Do not necessarily know if a mature buck is using a bed on this property
3.) Have some bucks on cam that I am after, just do not know where there beds are
4.) No idea if buck would go toward standing corn or toward cut corn at night.
I did not see anything that night, but will get back after it asap!!!
