? on a late season hunt

[mag1]

I have a ? on a marsch I have a chance for 1 last late season hunt. I'm planning on waiting for a cold day with some snow. (may be during 1st week of Jan.) This marsh has a section with dikes to walk on, but what I have seen is that the deer have taken a liking to bedding in the grass/tags/cattails inside the dikes, (the water is low this year, normaly it is 8ft or deep, so I should be able to get across). My basic idea is to use this as a scouting session for next year, but hoping to possibly get a chance to pick one off. Dosn't need to be a buck, but would be nice. My general thoughts are to walk the dykes, see if any tracks go into the center sections. If I get an idea that they are in that section, dive in with the wind in my face and see if I can put a sneak on those area. These sections are 1/4 to 1/3 mile squares. Before gun season, i seen a fair amount of deer coming out of these the one night i was in this spot. Any other input? I've gotten some good area photos to see where the trails go, and Have an idea of where they are going. Thanks for any insights.

If your not seeing to much hunting pressure, I would wait for the deer to come out of the cattails (unless your gun hunting) Sit on the dike where trail goes in, and wait for him to come back out.
