Ridge beds?
May seem basic...but when looking at this area there is a ridge that levels off for a about 500-600 yards then the drop off continues. In regard to hunting ridge lines would you focus on the upper portion where the red X is... or is that second drop off where, the blue Xs are, a good place to search for bedding?

Re: Ridge beds?
That's not topography that I am used to....very interesting.
Your red X is right around the area you'd typically look for hill beds. Top 1/3rd elevation.
You may not get a thermal tunnel with that land layout....or....you might be right on and get a thermal tunnel at both your locations.
One way to find out.....head to both spots during a leeward wind and see what milkweed does.
That's quite a "flat"...

Re: Ridge beds?
I like the steeper edges
Your far right NE blue X under a NE wind and maybe around to a North wind is probably good.
Your far west blue x looks like it maybe getting a sharper edge as that ridge is going off your map...would certainly be worth scouting
Under a NW wind to a N wind I like the area I placed a black mark for a bed also
Good luck, boots on the ground will give you a better idea, but I think you’re close

Re: Ridge beds?
Thanks for the look. Backstraps... In regard to the far west blue X on the continuation of that ridge, heres a look. Seems good i think
but the road (in yellow) is pretty close.You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
