There ya go. That's at least a thousand answers, the deer will be where they want to be. You can only guess. I think your plan is very reasonable. You may have bucks filtering back to bed down that seam in cut in the early am, maybe not. There are deer (does for sure) in the alder, but you will likely be heard or seen trying to hunt them (if you're moving). The alder/fir edge (you in the fir) should provide more coverage for you . Nothing left to do but go out and find them. (Um...did I mention rattling in that deep dark timber?) Don't forget your doe bleat can call.
Where's RadSav when you need him?
