The clearcut right in the middle of the pic is about 100 yards from the road south to the deep timber. The small little patch of grass to the south is about 60 yards wide by 30 yards north to south and has about a 75 yard feeder road covered in waste high grass going further south and stopping dead at more thick brush and timber.
On sunday we sat in there. The red dot is where we sat and the yellow dot is where I hung the estrus. We heard something moving just to the north of us, between the road and the small patch of timber next to the grass cut we were in in the direction of the arrow but, it never showed itself.

Should I stay on that small spot? It was really tight in there and I kept thinking if a deer came out where we could see him, my boy might not be able to set up in time or without being seen. I was thinking of hanging some estrus on the timber line next to the larger swath of grass to the north and sitting in the blowdown/deadfall to the north of our Sunday position or even hang the estrus out into the cut to get a deer to expose himself but, not sure if they would move totally exposed out into the cut. Getting one in the open will give him the best chance to connect but, if they won't come out into the cut, there's no point.
If it were you, what would be your choice?

get as high as you can and glass for as long as your son wants to then side hill above the cut. stop all the time to look.:yeah: I did just this with my 9yr old. We get to our spot 1/2 before dark, and I set him up on a nice log or stump. I just glass untill I find doe. Then I watch them untill they either point me in right direction of buck, or sometimes they are right with the doe (usually within 50yrds of the does). He has shot 3 deer this way the last 3 years within 2hrs of being there. 2- 2pts and a spike.
This year he is actually having to earn it. :chuckle: We have hunted 2 full days without seeing anything, but we have had alot more fun as well. Hopefully he will connect this weekend :).
So I would just make sure that he is over dressed with handwarmers so he can hang ther for awhile untill you find em a lil buck :tup:. Also if you can find a place he can shoot from, and at the same time keeps him out of site fom the deer. Good Luck hope to see some pics soon :IBCOOL:

Personally I would probably be looking at setting up somewhere in the timber in a pinch point. Looks to me that there is a thin strip of timber to the west of the small opening you were set up in. Hard to say, I like to sit still and wait.
There is but there are houses in there. Can't sit in someone's back yard.
