Small swampy pond

Unread postby jwangle13 » Sat Jun 29, 2019 10:11 am

I was doing some public land scouting today and ran across an interesting area. It was a small pond and in the north side was like .25 to .50 acre area that was pretty overgrown. That was also surrounded by about waste height vegetation. I found 3 different beds in the overgrown vegetation surrounding the pond with matted down areas and even some long white hairs. In the middle there are lots of different trails. I followed a few but they didnt seem to go to bedding. I didnt walk every inch because I ran put of time. My question would be how to attack this thing. I could in theory shoot down into the surroundings vegetation if a deer came up my direction. The whole thing is like a bowl so when bedded I dont think they could see me unless I got too high in a tree. Should I focus on the edges or should I try and sneak in the middle and hunt the interior trails?
