I try my best to rarely put any pics on here for advice, but I know many of your are experienced with hunting ridges. We have a SW wind tomorrow warranting me to want to hunt these bucks tomorrow. We have pics of two mature bucks coming into a trough about 15 mins before daylight, mainly in the AM, but sometimes in the PM. The green symbolizes the trough. The blue in the south part of the map symbolizes another camera set up on another trough where only night time pics occur. This shows me they are bedding closer to the green trough. Both of these cams are run by my friends, but they want any of us to kill these bucks. Would it make more sense for these bucks to access the green trough by walking the ridge or coming up from the bottom off an island? I never have hunted ridges so I am alot more inexperienced than many of you. Preciate it.
Where are these boys coming from?

Re: Where are these boys coming from?
Were they consistently coming in everyday, regardless of the wind? The reason I ask is because a SW wind is pretty uncommon for us this time of year, it may work for you but they may be bedding elsewhere.
Towards the NW of the green dot along the hardwoods & swamp transition looks great (from the topo) for a North wind. Nothing will make it through that swamp, quietly on them and they can smell everything above them.. We've also had a consistent North wind the past couple weeks. I would try in there with a North wind hunting around where those points start pushing into the hardwoods, on the swamp/hardwoods transition.
That's just me, I could be wrong but that's what I'm seeing. Regardless good luck getting after em' buddy!
