Help figuring out stand setup for spot
This area is all flat land. The green fields are food plots and the swampy areas are slougs/ ponds. All the green is 5-10 year old pine plantation with some hardwood fingers (SMZs) running through Would you hunt the ponds/sloughs as a swamp bedding area? Haven't scouted those areas super hard was going to wait till end of season, but think Im going to have to hunt them to kill a decent deer. Any and all ideas are welcome. Where would you hunt, do what you think the deer movement, and can you tell me how you would beast mode it. is The land is in southern AL. I have till Feb. 10th to put bone on the ground our rut is going to turn on in a week or so.

heres the topo. Is it worth studying since there is relatively no elevation change?

I would likely concentrate on the edge of the swamps/ ponds/or sloughs, or whatever you call them. I would circle each one when the wind is right finding sign coming out and setting up on it. Your likely to also have a light parallel trail following the edge, set up where the two trails intersect. Cruising bucks will walk the edge trying to scent if hot does are bedded in there along the edge. Don't walk on the bucks parallel trail when circling.

The top right, you have a red rectangle that says scrapes and rubs everywhere, is that huntable? Where was the 10 headed to and what time of day? I'd check out just west of the top right swamp hole.
