hunting strategy

I would walk that wood lot pretty thoroughly come Feb/March and then plan accordingly for various wind conditions

I've always tried to stay out of it as much as possible. They bed on those ridges, depending on the wind direction. I have been considering changing that philosophy though.

Well if you are taking my post seriously then we'll have to fight come May.

Good luck. You’ll need it. Lol. On a serious note, I can’t wait for that trip.

They bed there constantly. Wind direction determines where.

What about between the orange and yellow along the property line? That bluff creates a pinch point and the woods creates the cover for the funnel. I think the most of your deer are going off to the woods on the right of picture. Unless you have a good food source in your woods or fields, you are just getting the wonderers and chasers. It's hard to tell just from a aerial without seeing it in person and getting the whole idea of their routine movements.

Don't wear your panty hose so I don't get other ideas.

I seriously need to start rehabing my knee. Walking these mountains has got me down and I don't want to deal with that come turkey season.

I would try putting up two popup blinds about 85 yards from the timbers edge where I could see into the woods. Put a buddy heater in each and hunt dry and warm. I put a red dot for each blind.

If they travel through there, they will be in the bottom where I’ve been.

Couldn’t see 20 yards. It is thick, and tapers off. The woods were logged 20 years ago. Full of undergrowth and saplings.

Sounds very similar to my place. I need a blind that floats over the thick stuff so I can see in it. Too much of it to see it all. Helicopter would be a bit noisy.

My son is bigger than both of us.
Sadly, he may take your side.

Edit: The deciding factor may be that I'm paying for the trip! 😁
