Wondering what you guys think about this spot. Red markers are from some scouting I did in January. Where I show the buck symbols, there's a bunch of trees that were blown down (almost looked like they were hinge cut 10-15' off the ground) with super thick briers below. I'm certain there's some real good bedding there but then I'm also pretty sure they're bedding in the cattails. Surrounding this little "finger", it's peppered with oaks which is great because the rest of the property was logged some years ago and they only left a couple oaks here and there.
The (2) blue markers are where I've set up so far this year and I saw more activity than I've ever seen before. They started coming out of the CRP in front of me around 3:30 but then a couple doe did sneak up behind me out of the marsh later in the evening. Tomorrow I was thinking about canoeing into the location below where I show the boat launch; my biggest question is, at 2pm, it's calling for the wind to switch from westerly to easterly and I was really hoping to head in around noon. I'll obviously check again in the morning, but am I better waiting until after 2 to set up so I don't blow out the CRP?
Any other thoughts on this area? It's ~500 acres of state land and it seems the pressure most typically comes from the road to the east.
Thanks!!
