    So I made a thread a few days ago about land im hunting, today I scouted that land the best I could, any tips on places where I should set up?
    red is the land ill be hunting
    blue are ponds
    yellow is where I set up a camera, corn and apples
    green arrow is one of places I think they might be coming in from.
    is the area I chose to set up seem like a good area from what you can see in the pictures?

    Looks pretty small...what could it be a couple acres ? If that's the case you going to have to be really careful with the amount of pressure you put on it.

    Honestly if baiting is legal...put down corn by your cam and try to get a herd inventory to start with.

    Not to be that creepy stalker dude, but I looked up the location to get a better idea of the property. I'm loving the SE corner near the creek bottom. According to Windfinder, you have predominately a S wind for most of the season. Looking at Bing Map's Bird's Eye, it doesn't look like many of the tree's are big enough to hunt from?

    Reguardless, I believe you're right about deer likely approaching from that E side. I'd be setting up on the N edge of the pond, slightly E. Should put you in bow range of most of the pond. Somewhere here if possible-

    Birds eye kicks butt...and a lone wolf quick setup is the way to go. For experimenting or based on wind.

    Yeah, that's the Bing Bird's Eye. You can rotate to all 4 sides. It's awesome if they have it for your area.
