    test.png Get to hunt the piece Saturday and Sunday
    Without being able to scout Where would you think about throwing a stand sat morning. Going to be able to throw an audible for the afternoon hunt.
    I have kind of an idea where I was wanting to start but want some input as well.
    The fields to the north and east that you can see is standing corn

    I'm by no means an expert but given the standing corn, I think I'd try to set up something in the NE corner. Looks like you'd have some open ground to at least glass and see a lot. Should have some vantage points to see where deer are entering and exiting the corn if they travel there. Get the most intel you can Sat morning and go from there. Two days isn't a lot of time but I bet you could get into position to have a chance at something. Good luck!

    oops I meant west I was wonder what you were talking about then I was like oh I said the corn was to the east. Kind of what my plan was but more north I don't know if there looks like much for a good tree to climb up in.

    My fall back plan is hunt the pinch point south east along the river

    LOL! Well I kinda messed up too. I thought North was at the top and then for some stupid reason thought East was left. Sorry, had a senior moment there. Haha! I was talking about the upper left corner of the picture. Looks like you might have some long lines of sight down the tree lines to see what was moving in and out of the corn. Other wise unless you find some good trails and sign, I think I'd set up Sat morning where I could see as much as possible for at least a couple hours and go from there. Any chance you could just put some boots on the ground to scout a morning early?

    I'd be attracted to the pond in the middle, seems like it'd be a nice watering hole after being corn fed.

    I like hunting the thickest parts when I don't have that much time to hunt. I'd hunt the thickest part in-between that and the corn.

    What are the winds supposed to be and what is the topography like?

    Can you zoom in to those open areas to see if you can make out any game trails? That'd be a good place to start.

    The funnel between the field and the stream. If you hunt it during the rut. Bucks can go days without eating but need water daily.
