Please give me your opinions for stand placement on this topo map. That's a crop field on the left.

I'll admit I'm not great with topo maps but I would set up just southwest of the "W" on the map. There looks to be several ridges and hollers leading to and away from this location. Could be a good travel location and if this is public land or a draw hunt that could be key. Also, good if deer are traveling to and from the crop field. Just my thoughts.

I see what appears to be a good saddle that I would have to sit whether it had deer sign or not

There appears to be a saddle on the southwest side of the hub. I would probably hunt the southeast side of it for a predominant north or west wind. On a south wind I would hint the north side of it.

Deer are going to travel the path of least resistance. When crossing a ridge they will cross in saddles to get from one side to the other. It also allows them to stay off the highest part of the ridge.
