Just wonder if anyone would be kind enough to give me their opinion on where they would look to setup during the next week or two when the bucks are cruising and in rut. I have several good bucks in this area, but haven't been able to find time to locate any beds yet. I'm not quite there as far as picking spots using topo maps, and almost at a loss at this point as to where to focus. I just wonder what everyone's opinions are based solely on that information, and not knowing the ins and out of the properties. Hoping something recommended will ring a bell and casue one of those lightbulb in the head moments!
I whited out the properties that I cannot access on the eastern edge and southwest corner, (also the owners names within the property borders but ignore those markings), and all white paths are gaswell/tram roads. All fields are standing or cut beans at this point. The yellow markings are rows of crp in a remote field. There is no corn in the picture at all.
I would really appreciate the help guys!

Re: Aerial Map Gods please help me!
I am by far no expert. But going in blind, I would hit the field corners that appear to have large drainage cuts. Seems like a very obvious pinch point for any buck cruising bedding on the ridge points, and access would be easy through the field with predominately west winds. I am not sure how deep the cut actually is, but if it is deep enough, the top would be the best bet for movement around it. And you are hunting the top so thermals shouldn't be bad with a decent wind.

Thanks! After reading your reply I went through and reviewed all of these corners, and although I already hunt a few, I found one or two more to setup on.
Unfortunately most of these fields are now but beans and seeing no doe action. Most of the activity is interior and focused on acorns near the bedding areas. Although I know where some of these areas are, I cant really get boots on the ground right now without pressuring the area.
If anyone sees any type of terrain features that pop out....please advise! I'm kind of perplexed at this point!
