Buck bed in a small marsh 50 yards off the road

Thought I would share this and have a question. This is my second year going beastie. (Sorry I’m still laughing at that video from Joe and THP) Anyway I have been scouting river bottom when I get off work at noon this week. This little cattail marsh is small. I mean 100 yards long and 50 yards wide. It’s right off the road. There is ag across the road. Anyway I thought I’d check it out today because I think people
Walk around this marsh and head either to the middle of the woods or to the river which is 100 yards away due west. This marsh runs north to south. South end is very wet. The north end is dry and trails in it. Cattails and grass and a hand full of small willows. I found 3 beds today with this being the biggest and a fresh rub headed out to the north. All the beds are in the north end. Then I found a tree I could slip into on the outskirts. Tomorrow is a southeast wind. Would it be too early to go sit on that bedding with me just being in there today? My kids get off the bus at 3:30 so I have to be home by then. That’s why I am scouting with my bow each day. Tomorrow afternoon I can actually hang and hunt. Thanks for your help. This site is great been here since 2017.

If you think he's in there, I'd do it.

If you aren't sure - wait until you know he is, then go get him.

You might want to crop out the GPS coordinates from your pic.
