Finally Got Out And Scouted Today
hey guys whats up i finally got out and scouted the 19 acres that is all mine to hunt again this year im still waiting to take a deer on it however though. Really i have a question on stand placement theres is a creek that runs all along the 19 acres so i always cross it to the east there is a corn feild thats not mine but the edge is :-). to the west im nopt sure what lies and in the middle there is a little little run off with some tracks there now the thing is is when i was getting ready to go back to my truck i spooked up 3 does drinking out of the creek and they ran to the west and i dont know whats over that way. Basically is the best place to sit my stand now some where in the middle of all this because i couldnt find any trees right along the corn feild thanx??

Sounds to me like you should of scouted the whole property during the off season, But if it were me, I would set up where I seen those deer, or set up away and scout while i hunted. Sounds like you have a food source and a water source now all you have to do is key in on it. This could be a morning spot or it could be a afternoon spot and during the rut its hard to tell. I wouldnt over hunt it. Maybe you ought to invest in some trail timers to find out when there moving through and which way there heading when they do. you ought to check out this off season and learn the land. Good luck to ya
