Default Where would you setup your stand?

The area to the left of the cleared field and small pond is the area that I can hunt this fall. The darker areas at the bottom and left are wetland areas that are dry at this time of year. The picture was taken in the spring so it may be hard to tell that this is mostly hardwoods and thick brush. I know that the deer currently enter and exit at Point A and Point B. There are woods below and right of Point A. a few homes on the left of the photo and a dirt road along the top. I included some points of reference that I thought could potentially be a good location. Where would you setup your tree stand?

Where are the mast crops?

Do you have a photo that's panned out, some?

With nothing to go on, these look good.

What's that field used for?

What's to the south?

If I were you....I'd listen to Gri22...lol...but I added 4 that I thought jumped out at me.

I like the9 area...looks like a good funnell travel route to me.

Could be a good place to set up all day long during the rut.

The field to the right is no longer farmed...tall grasses. The pic is shown with North at the top if it matters.

GMMAT - I agree with the area you circled as beds. The white dotted line in the field are fence posts.
