swampy scout - need a little advice
so I hunt heavily pressured hunting land in Illinois and the area is relatively flat with not much swing in elevation - so its mainly flat . I scouted a swapy patch of area that runs north and south and is about 100 yards long - to the east is a very small ridge of acorns ( they are starting to drop } and to the west there is a hay field . the area inside the swamp is about 2 feet of water with all of the rain we have been having - the drier parts are off to the edges of the swamp - located beds and track , but they were probably doe beds and tracks as they were on the smaller side . area of cattails looked good but did not provide much buck sign that i was able to see -not too much high ground within the swamp - any suggestions as if i should give this area a shot or just move on - the prevailing winds are mainly out of the south / south west

If your finding buck sign around the bedding areas outside of the rut give it a shot... If not, concentrate on the doe bedding during rut.
