Hey guys I was wondering how you guys would set up in this situation. I have an Idea but will not mark the image for the time being. I have set up in the draw to the west of the picture and have sever trailcam pictures of a couple nice bucks in there. I think that the deer would best utilize the points for bedding with a S-SW wind here but am not sure how to plan a set without getting busted. Thanks!
How would you guys set up on this ridge?

Re: How would you guys set up on this ridge?
Are you wanting to hunt it now, or during the rut?
Have you prescouted for buck beds or just trail cams?

Hey Backstraps thanks for the reply. Was thinking about hunting it now early season and want to see how you would approach it. I have not had a chance to scout this section of the property thoroughly yet because it is 8 hours away and I am busy with school. Was just going to cross my fingers and hope that one will be bedded on one of the north facing "ridges" since it looks like many of the successful setups I have seen on the beast.
On another note my dad did miss a big buck during the rut last year cruising that draw where I marked that trail out.

I like the saddle where the "tr" in trail is for rut movement, as well as the draw where your trail is dotted.
On a west wind, there maybe could be buck bedding below the "ra" in the word trail.
If you follow your dotted line south to the bold contour line...that ridge above the creek may have movement or bedding with a n-nw wind too.

Hey backstrapst thanks for your thoughts. I had actually been thinking that the best spots would have been to the north of the plot but with your insight looks like I have some new spots to checkout. I like the idea of checking out that little bench you pointed out. That area is THICK and might hold some beds.
