So I am wondering how BEASTS go about this type of a situation.

So in one of my spots, I was scouting, and I came across a spot that I have so ignorantly been walking by for the past year and a half. I hunt a piece of public land that is bordered by a farm to the South, and a house with old farming fields to the East. Now the border of both the farm and the house has a rock wall with barbed wire that seperates public land from the two pieces of private property. Also the house to the East has a little swamp/pond that is kind of down in a gully.

During the Rut last year a sat about 200 feet or so off of the barbed wired fence that separated me from this swamp. In one sit I saw a couple bucks come to this watering hole, and stop about 10 or 15 yards away from the barbed wired fence. It seemed as though when they realized that they could not get over it very easily they walked back up the hill on the south side of the swamp and vanished. Now I was scouting for Oak trees and I came across a bunch of undergrowth that had a bunch of scat underneath them. When I looked over to the rock wall I noticed this GAPING hole. No barbed wire fence in sight either. Now I feel like this might be a good spot to set up and hunt because just on the public land side there is a hill that the Does like to bed on all the time. And I used to have a trail camera in this are and the deer kept coming from the left side and heading towards that hill where they bed (to the right). But I figured it would be the other way around, the doe just 3 or 4 months ago used to walk right to left. But as time went on and antlers began growing the deer were walking left to right from the swamp side over to the hills. And the 5 or 6 does I get on camera all still walk Right to left. But I was still confused as to how these deer were getting over this big barbed wired fence.

Then I found this break in the wall that lined right up with the deer's line of travel from the swamp to the hills. Now what I am getting at is, I am here trying to figure out what winds to hunt my spots on, but I don't have access to the side of the wall that these deer are coming from. So IDK where they are coming from and where they are bedding on that side. What would you guys do? I am going to post some pictures of what this area looks like. I just am unable to put boots on the ground on the other side of this wall. But other then that I feel like this may be a good place to sit. What do you guys think?

This is the break in the wall.

This is the undergrowth that I am pretty sure they walk through. They walk through there, cross a small horse path, and then drop down into the thick hillside to bed. ALOT of daytime pictures of bucks right behind me. I just do not have enough time to set up a camera and get a good reading on this spot before the 15th.

Why don't you go to the county seat and find out who owns the property and go ask fr permission to hunt?
