Stand placement help

[Countryboy0626]

I'm not sure if you'll be able to see enough with these pictures, but if possible I'd like to get some new ideas for stand placement on the farm I hunt. It's approximately 70 acres and is all the property inside the red lines. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I would pick a spot on that point near the southeast boundary that gave me the widest field of view.

If that creek is dry/sandy, I would walk it and find the crossings. Once you identify where they are crossing, then I would figure out why and when. That will help you figure out where to place those stands.

I almost always start at creek crossings and work out. I have one spot on public that sets up this way, deer come through once i the morning and once in the evening like clockwork. Bedding on one side and food on the other. May not be much help for your question directly, but its worked for me.

Looks like a nice saddle on the ridge in the northeast corner of the property.

With the pictures posted, I would focus on the creek as an area to scout and work from there and look around the higher northeast side of the property. Looks like there is another creek on the neighboring property and there is probably a trail that leads between the two. Once locating that work on your feeding/bedding areas and how you can access them on the dominant winds. You may find a great stand location but need different routes of getting there based on your prevailing winds. Good luck.

Thanks guys....I'm terrible at reading maps. I see deer here but it seems like I'm never in the spot I need to be. Just wanted to get some outside opinions.

The saddle though, looks hard to get to without possibly blowing out deer on that ridge or in the field. My approach and wind would be the 2 deciding factors for me until i get the deer figured out. Hunt the fringes and keep the wind in your favor rather than just penetrate right through the middle (hence the problem getting to that saddle) until you know what's going on. my 2 pennies.

Northeast corner looks good to me. I would also have more than one set up. Something for a north wind and south wind.
