    That creek looks like it might be fairly wide say 20 from bank to bank, how wide is it. Down here the deer stay on one side more and make more distinct trails along the wider creeks more so then the narrower creeks. It looks like the creek has timber along both sides. Is there any small clearings in the timber. Whats that X thats shaded on the bottom right, it looks like it could be a gully or two.

    I would hang several stands on this property! On the top right corner of the quarry, you see how it kicks out creating a funnel? The deer are going to be forced through the beans that way if they are bedded the opposite direction. The other spot i would check is that pine tree strip. Deer love to bed in pine trees and if these pines are on a ridge, thats absolute perfection But this is just by topo only, see what the trails are like and set up for the right wind. The primary wind for early season is from the south so set up according to that.
    Again, you NEED an undetecting escape route!! Can you park on that road?? If you can see the majority of the field from the pine tree area, i can bet that most bucks will watch the field from this location, and thats close to where you want to be. Set up 50-100 yards off of the field or find a staging area (there should be poop where they sit and mill around until they feel comfortable enough to come out ie. right before dark)
    If anyone can take this picture and mark spots to help you out that would be even better for you I would if i knew how to do it

    the area by the pines is where I was thinking would be good to start and hand a stand as well as the right corner by the bridge there are tracks and trails everywhere under this thing it like compleatly matted down. I have never hunted by a creek so I was kind of thinking this would be the hottest spot because its like the only water supply in the area but im still new anyway thanks for the advise hopefully this season will be good to all of us.
