    I am new to the whole topo thing so I am not going to attemp telling you what I woul do but, it looks like a nice property to hunt. I'd really like to scout and hunt it. Good luck to you and I am sure you will find someone on here that can point you in the right dirrection.

    Look for travel corridors between feeding and bedding areas early in the season. Later, let the rutting activity tell you where to hunt.

    I like to find places with at least three changes in structure like a creek running through a woods that meanders close to a thicket on the edge of a field in which they feed. If there is an oak tree at this intersection... look for poop and tracks. It's like finding the doorway to a restaurant where people gather.

    Its just a scouting trick and you should check your game laws but you can throw out some feed in a spot to see what is there. It should be eaten quickly otherwise its a cold site. Of courese here in Alabama, once the food is gone, you have to wait ten days to hunt. I brush away the leaves so I can see the tracks... it really helps. But the best tell-tale sign (next to a game cam) is the poop. If you find a lot of poop close to an edge or thicket... hunt it.

    Good hunting and remember to praise the Lord whether you get a deer or not.
