Gee... It's tough to say... Productive? For deer activity? For meat all season long? For a shot at a big buck?
Depends on where I am hunting as well....
Does will gravitate to food sources... Bucks seek solace and security most of the time... Except when things change as the rut begins!,!!
Down South, we hunt plated pines, river bottoms, crop lands, and swamp bottoms....
Me, regardless of the terrain... I will seek out the transition areas 50-100 yds from food sources most of the season for meat, uh hum does... Many times you may find bucks as well....
But as October progresses, I try to find the nasty out of the way places with cover that allow access to those areas I have been hunting for does... I find these areas, give security and access that the old bucks demand... Usually they won't even let you know that are there until, they start rubbing and scraping!
But as the acorns drop, the deer change all their patterns as they seek out the best sweetest acorns in the woods!!!
The Wenslel brothers books are some of the most insightful books on picking stand sights, and I feel I learn more each time I retread them...
It ain't rocket science, but it ain't easy either!!! :D :D :D
