As I was listening to joes podcast on the hunting public he talked about hunting some open fields etc... I have attached a few images I can mark them up further but I didn’t want to put a bunch of edits on them if this didn’t work. Hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction.

Any thing untilled has potential to hold deer. Big thing is if they have some of the necessary structure needed for mature buck bedding. One point Dan told me that I was missing. Is that the bucks need shade at their beds. Not only for cooling. But also for hiding.

Other thing is pressure. You may have bucks using these fields for bedding in summer or early in the season. If all other bowhunters are ignoring them. But when pheasant/bird season opens most of these dry areas get hit by hunters and their dogs.

Thank you!
