Wondering how you guys would approach this hunt. Eastern border of my club is basically half of the hollow (creekbed). Ag all around which is soybeans that have not been picked. The southern ping is my desired stand site with the property line to my back as I watch a 10 acre cutover point. Mineral site with camera has shown a couple of nice bucks but more importantly has shown a lot of travel in the background. My current plan is to hold off until the rut then access from the North (second ping) after daybreak once deer have left the fields. I typically hate hitting the stand after daybreak so it may be that an evening set is better. What are your thoughts? Will be bowhunting so important to get in close.
Advice on this set
- Thread starter Bushape
- Start date
Some agriculture places like what you have there can be super hard to get into in unless you have a creek or river to use in the mornings. I think you doing the right thing. I'd wait until daylight to slowly hunt my way in and then plan on staying all day.
You can always set a blind or stand up on the edges to hunt in the afternoon with less impact. But I like your plan.

You ever hunted where the yellow dot is a little Southwest from your stand icon? Looks like a descent pinch point and should be good for a North wind
Yeah you can see the creekbed in that photo which is the agreed upon boundary.
Unfortunately you have to get off in that hollow to have trees to climb as well as see . I don't hate that thought though. Little nervous about going in that close to the cutover as all of that is so growed up.

Ok - I couldn't tell what the terrain was like. Wherever that cutover is, I'd want to be close to it.
