Help with now locale - Go To Spot..

[Edcyclopedia]

The access roads are light blue.
The 4-potential Buck Beds are numbered.

Can you give a wind direction for each stand, a location to place the stand and foot path you would likely walk in?
Thanks!

Ed, Some of your bed placements seemed a little off, but in the right area. Like #3, I would of expected the bed to be where I marked the hunting spot. Not sure if you actually foot scouted? Or if your spots are guesses based on cyber scouting? If they are a result from foot scouting I will stick to my guesses and assumptions.
Its difficult to predict deer directional movement from a map on hard ground outside of rut.. But terrain does play a small part... I would rather a guy find the deer trails in and out of a bedding area on the day he scouts it on foot preferably in spring or winter.
But, I will take some shots at where I think movement will occur if your bed positions are accurate...

Yellow is the hunter stand position
Blue is direction of the wind that the buck will bed at your spot on and you would be able to hunt
Pink is the way I would consider accessing from

This is actually the same map from a month ago - Just another quadrant (NW).

I placed the marks on the map based off you suggetions and I could have marked them a bit off...
This is also a closer zoom than the bigger map, making it easier to see the definition of the land.

I will do a real quick sweep next time it rains, as I believe the deer are somewhat used to human activity considering there are ATV trails throughout the landscape...
As a note - this "access" road leads to a high school and the buses and car traffic are starting to pick up now that the fall sport schedules / practices is in full swing.

Higher resolution, if this helps?...
