Headed over to the northeast corner to hunt a large property for 5 days. Old man (property owner) says he's been seeing some nice bucks regularly. The plot of land has some nice elevation change with basalt ledges and shelfs, nice open timber, and a really long a narrow (150 yards wide, 1/4 mile long) green pasture up the center of the property, and a pond thats about 75 yards in diameter. The pond has water about 4 feet deep.
my question is... what do you all see as more valuable to the bucks right now. Water, or grazing grasses? tree stand opportunities for either option, and a large double bull ground blind set up on the pond already. My gut feel says to set up on the water source on the established double bull blind.

with these kind of structures,I expect nothing less than a 5 point. min 140 gross.
But thats just me. travel points between,timber for bedding..no brainer
