    Everything above the red line. Cattle are by the pond on the left. Yellow dots im thinking might be good stand locations. Cant beat 600 acre private land lol.

    Ya I hear ya. Im completely lost on where to start lol. I havent hunted in a stand here yet just still hunting a few years ago. I have several other places I hunt so I have put this on the back burner but I know there are some good bucks on it so I want to give it a shot.

    Your on the right track, lots of potential. There are a ton of good potential spot locations. Find the funnels an pinch points an your gonna find the deer no doubt. That real tight funnel in the bottom right hand side. My be worth a look as well. An even thou there are cows on the other end. Timber close to the water might be worth a shot. One of my farms has cattle on one half of it an have had great luck on it.

    No my 2 cameras crapped out on me this year. I saw a 160 in the field at the bottom center of the pic. Right near the property line by that finger that runs north amd south that seperates the 2 fields.

    That looks like a great property Dan. I agree with the bottom right pinch point. It stood out to me as soon as I saw the pic. I was supposed to be off to hunt next week as well but had a good news, bad news thing happen. Good news is that I got a promotion, Bad news is that I feel obligated to put the vacation week on the back burner as it coincides with my first week in the new position. Looks like I will be a weekend warrior this season. Except for the possibility of sneaking a few days off later on. Good luck on the property, It looks like it would be a real honey hole once you get the deer patterned.

    Here are some more ideas Dan. I kinda looked over the property an these are just a few spots I'd be checking out. An yes that lower right pinch point look to be a dandy of a spot. Whats your entrance an exit routs thur the property?? image.jpg
