West Facing Hill

[guspup]

I have the priviledge to exclusively hunt 125 acres of prime deer country. In 15 years, I have harvested some beautiful deer from this property. That being said, I am always trying to improve.
The property is very remote, and a mixture of northern hardwoods with stands of conifers, very hilly, with step gulleys, creeks, and 2 ponds. the prpery climbs 1200 ft. (thousands of acres of the same surrounding it)
The tough part, is the access is only via an east - west logging road, (entering from the west) and the hill slopes entirely to the west. Winds almost exclusively westerly. I have a number of stands, but really enjoy the stalk in, which takes quite some time. Nearly all of my success has come from the stalk out in the late afternoon. The gulleys of course run east-west as well.
Any thoughts / tips from the experts?

Brian, I grew up hunting those very hills, except at the southern end of the lake. I always had my best luck hunting high in the morning and afternoons at the tops of the ravines.
   The evenings I always had more activity hunting the low lands along West river and Naples creek.
   Lots of excellent public ground there with light use.
   Many great memories there also.

Thanks Larry, you are absolutely right about where to find these deer at each time of day. This week has been tough getting into these spots with the winds being stiff out of the west. We've also still have alot of leaves up. I can spot them on the way in, but it's been tough this week getting close enough to them for my little 45 pounder :-) Lighter wind days I can make work for me.
