How Would you hunt this property? I would like to hear some thoughts and I will post up how I have been hunting it.
Red X's are buck bedding areas
Prevailing wind direction out of the SW shown by the red arrow, thermal effects seem to be minimal for the small changes in elevation
I scout this and my other properties year round on the ground, glassing fields, and with trail cams.
The RR tracks on the north end of this property make it nice to get into with a good wind. I have not seen much movement during the mornings, I think most of the deer have gone nocturnal after gun season. They likely are already in their beds when the sun comes up.

My hunting positions would be very close to the buck bedding you have marked. As close as possible without being seen or heard.

I don't know too much but it seems weird that they bed in that clearing on the far right of the picture. I'm with dan hunt close but not too close...I snuck into a new bedding area today that Dan pointed out to me on an aerial and got too close...hunt ruined

it's neck high CRP grass now, very thick and hard to see in when they are bedded in there

Re: How Would you hunt this property?
In that case I would bed there too! Unrelated to the topic at hand but where do you get the topo/aerial overlay photos.
