I already have a stand setup on a ridge about 100 yards to the east up the path from the actual creek crossing. The creek runs at an angle (northeast to southwest) so its only 80 yard north and 100 yards to the west where it crosses an old abandon road.
I guess my main question is should i risk trying to get closer or stay on the ridge that runs parallel with the creek? I have not gone down in there other than to hang my set two weeks before opener. I was saving it for the rut which is fast approaching. We should have fast action here in the next week or so.

The one i am referencing is about a 15 foot elevation change.
In this pic, im at the bottom with the same creek to my back. Just down a little ways from my other set. This is one of my rifle sets.
Im hunting the same ridge, but down to the left about 100 yards.

The one i was talking about does not have a feeder on it. Its actually overlooking a thicket on the old road.
In this pic, the creek crosses 100 yards away. (Took this picture the day i set this stand and have not been back since sept 12) If i look straight ahead, the creek is about 80 yards.
There are no rubs or scrapes on the old road but there are many trails coming from the creek that pop out 20 yards from base of the tree. I just font have any proof of bucks using the area. I set this up by using topo maps and setup over oak trees. Gambled on the deer traveling the ridge instead of the creek bed.

Sure looks like a good spot.

I guess they will use any rise to travel? I think someone told me a ridge running east { west was the best??

No such thing as too late to hand corn. Throw some out, hang a camera, don’t check it too often, when one gets regular go kill him.

Well the little deer with the thing that looked like a stick in his horns came in again this morning. he still has the weird main beam but it IS a stick. I passed him tuesday and he had that stick all polished up with little points all over it.
It must be stuck in there pretty good. he has worn most of the branches of now though.
