One of the spots I'm hunting is 1-2' deep and the deer don't mind it at all. They are coming through the cypress on the same trails they used when it was dry. This spot is a giant prairie surrounded on 3 sides with cypress and the other side is dry pineland. There is a cypress funnel about 60 yds wide that runs through the middle of the prairie to the pineland that I sit in and they come from the cypress through the funnel and go around the pineland staying in the water the whole time. I've probably seen 30 deer in 5 or 6 trips and only 1 came out of the pine. On another note I have only seen maybe 10 mosquitos in 3 trips so farthis season. :clap:

I'd look for feed sign,acorns should be dropping pretty steady now. Like I lovetohunt says, set up between where they're going to and where they're coming from.Pines are good bedding areas.
