i put a photo of the land i will be hunting
all of that is timber and the dark spot in the photo is where i will be hunting at ( it is a patch of evergreen, also where i got my 1st deer) i have 3 spots in there but i dunno if there are n e deer in there
there are 3 stands along that south fence where i have seen 4 deer heading to the pond

well you already know where they are feeding.if you can determin where they are bedding, put your self in a location between the feeding and the bedding spot on a well used trail. try not to disturb the bedding area or walk near or through it getting to your stand.most baiting is illegal so id be carefull of that. look for tracks around the perimeter of the food plots to see where they are coming in and out of the woods and place your camera there.look at your tracks...on a bucks prints the front and rear tracks will be in line with each other. on a doe they will be different.. a does rear hips are wider than her fron so that she is able to give birth.if you look at the tracks good you will see the difference.when you place your stand put it about 50 to 75 yards from the trail so not to travel on it or leave your scent lingering.you may want to use a drag line with some tarsels going to the stand. good luck

If you have corn fields you better find a good trail along the edge going to a bedding are probably a thicket or a draw. They maybe traveling a tree line between a food supply and the pond. If its real dry that pond will be a good place to start they do need water. Have any springs on the place.?
