Would this setup make any sense?

Always appreciate the advice. I really want to sit this spot but with west winds in the foreseeable future (north is up on picture) would it be a bad idea to hunt the edge (point B)? I have watched alot of deer bed out in the marsh farther west. There is a huge rub line on the edge up the hill towards point A. Elevation drops almost 100 feet from point A to point B, so the edge is a low spot.

I would not hunt that spot with a west wind. I would hunt with a south wind or an east wind. When I set up on any buck I like to burn as little ground as possible. With a west wind your burning the timber where the bucks would come from.

If youre looking at hunting it in the evening a west wind would work of youre expecting them to be bedding in the marsh. But otherwise stan is right. Really this time of year, unless youre hunting a specific bed or bedding area, the deer could come from any direction (especially in marshes).

Thanks guys. I will save this spot for another day.

I don't think I would hunt that spot at all... I would be further west in the swamp. I marked one tree that looks "ok" but I would like to see whats further West.

Thanks, Dan. I was setup the other day with a south wind for a quick morning hunt right on the edge to the right of that tree you circled. I had a doe and fawn come right by, could have shot but was hoping they had company. No luck. Not much for trees to the west, it does go on for a looong way though. Might be a good place for a step ladder.
