No bait allowed in Alberta. How does one access Google Earth?

Inside corners have been good to me.

Just be aware of wind eddies.  If the corner has any trees to break up the wind it could eddie back into the corner even though the prevailing wind is west.  Use some cotton or milkweed (sans seed) to see where the wind is going after it leaves you.  With fields I usually start the season closer to the field and work my way into the woods further as I hunt it and they start coming out later due to the hunting pressure.

Try popup blind by water,make sure blind is well shaded,hunt only in evening,as deer need water to help digest food,only hunt 3 hr at a time so your scent will not pool in area,make sure you shower before hunt,leave blind only after dark...PRACTICE A LOT...you will get plenty of shots,if you follow rules..deer will be on all sides, of you...move slow...good luck...

I am an inside corner man too...off the field edge about 20 yards. Try catching where deer move from the NE and NW but you stay on the downwind side. Evening hunts only with NE and NW winds only. Looks good...go kill 'em!

Also that Z is mighty tempting especially if the deer are walking around the Z/dirt path because they think of it as an obstruction. That is a classic midwest set-up...what's it doing all the way up there  :)

It's a free application.  Just download it, type in the address you want and go from there.  It's a tremendous program.

I like Arwin's plan.
