High Seat Placement

[Lloyd90 509]

Where is the best place for putting a high seat ? ATM I have one slightly inside some woodland but want to move it into a more open location. I have three options (For Fallow)

 

1) A large meadow, it can get quite boggy and is overgrown. The grass is about waist height most places. The ground is too boggy to get a tractor in to cut (Farmer tried before and kept getting stuck).

 

2) A large opening of bracken. I have seen a few deer stood out amongst this once so they do pass by. ...Not sure if they pass through or bed down here.

 

3) Just picked up these fields near by. Some large fields that the farmer has cut for Hay, its sloping downhill but right in the middle about 75yards from the trees is a large wooden pylon (Is this safe to lean a seat against?)

 

What you reckon lads ?

Is it a permanent fixture or one that could be moved? If the former I'd spend a bit of time in spots at the times you'll want to be stalking and make sure you're in the most likely spot. That boggy area with the high foliage will be a different place in the winter and may be a nice rutting stand. The open area with the good grass will be where they feed and the bracken a good couching spot so I appreciate your quandary.

 

If in doubt look for the slots and go for the area overlooking the heaviest foot fall.

If you have any amount of fallow their tracks will become evident , as Matt said look for the slot and go from there .if it's an electricity pylon they aren't keen at all about high seats against them . That's not to say I don't use them but if they see them they take them down .Had them contact the estate office about them a couple of times ..
