Screening & Access Planner

Can you reach the stand without walking across the plot or through the bedding that feeds it?

Access

Does your entry and exit route keep your scent off the plot and the downwind cover?

Access

Is your stand placed so your most common hunting-hour wind carries scent away from where deer enter?

Wind

Do you have a plan to hunt this plot only on the right wind and rest it otherwise?

Wind

Is the bedding-facing or road-facing edge screened with standing crop, switchgrass, or a brushy edge?

Screening and shape

Is the plot an irregular shape with edge or a pinch point rather than a plain open square?
