You would have to put your eyes on it to fully understand. Deer being there is not a problem now. But as the pines grow and shade undergrowth before first thinning, could get slack. Picture it as a football stadium. The stands on one side is where my stand is (SE corner facing NW for northerly winds). The football field is a food plot. The opposite stands is going to be the bedding area. I'm on a hill, food plot in the bottom, and I'm looking down on the opposite hillside bedding area. 175-200 yards to the START of the bedding area. Can hunt it with any wind from west to ne...nothing south. I can do flips all the way to the stand and out and they can't see me.
