Hey Guys,
I just wanted to get some input... I am super busy with work and have very few days to actually get out there, so it is pretty important to me to have full confidence in my positioning. So...
Give me your opinions here:
The stand is in a moderately pressured area (3-4 guys on 300-400 acres), but I am deeper in than most seem to want to go. I am about 50-75 yds from 2 huge fields and 40-50 yds from the actual water. I am located on what appears to be a huge hub of travel. There is evidence of deer walking from the fields into the woods down a 'logging road' (the photo from Google Earth below predates the cutting of one field and the logging road) that comes to a small opening, about 30-40 yds in diameter. This opening is at the top of a geographic hill where the bottom is the right on the water's edge. There are at least 4-5 trails (including the logging road) coming into this hub and one major funnel trail that has well matted grass leading into some very thick vegatation and hardwoods. I am set up in this hub, 10 yds off, with good cover just on the edge of where the 'funnel' trail is. I have not seen deer use this before, but have never hunted the spot either. They bed on the edge of the fields (see photo).
What do you think? Also, I think it goes without saying that I am kinda putting my faith in everyone here giving my stand location away... I put a lot of hard work into picking it... but I am still new to this...
IF there are other CT hunters interested, I have been all over in there and can direct you to several good spots other than mine
