I bought a permit to some archery only public land in AR. I have been scouting on Google earth for 2 weeks now and I have found good looking spots when compared to a topographical map. Anything small I need to look for when looking for a specific tree when I go get my boots muddy? Thanks guys

Acorns on the ground. Look for a tree that gives you back cover. Try to find a slightly reclining (leaning back section) where your back will rst so your comfortable and can sit for long periods of time. Finally, if using a climber find a straight tree that allows you to get up 20+ feet. I always go to the area a think the deer will be and look up into the tree to find my spot before ever going up.

google earth is a great place to start but nothing compares to getting your boots muddy and seeing the layout with your own eyes. I agree with fly--finding a nice loaded oak tree dropping is a good start. Finding a major trail leading to some bedding areas or finding a nice rub line will also help the confidence.

good luck
