First prop, just by looking, a stand between the swamp and the corn especially when the corn is cut. Another is in the finger of woods furthest north on the "Y" in the south part of prop.
Second prop tell dave he has to take some stands out because he can only hunt one at a time. I'd put one on one of those inside corners north west of daves most northern stand.

Photo #1 - NE corner pinch-point of nature preserve & corn field on the West side of the gap.
Photo #2 - Just below the ridge top crown on the bowl where the two finger ridges take off SE of camp in the mornings.
Above the south side of the creek bed triple pinch-point area inside the woods line at the SW corner of the South grass field in the evenings.
Topo observations only as starting points for going in blind. Would have to confirm bedding areas, travel routes, & prevailing wind.

Photo 1 - Ditto what DEERTRACKS said.
Photo 2 - Somewhere on the ridge in the southeastern part of the site, just because you're not seeing them on the northern ridge (or again where DEERTRACKS said). Also, the southermost wood patch south of the field and north of the road because it connects the two major woods to the east and the west and will be a thicker more comfortable highway for the deer than the two East-West fencerows further north.
Heck I don't even know DEERTRACKS but his spots are textbook perfect!

On #2 I was thinking to actually hunt along the ridge rather than the ravine. If you get a buck in the ravine, I don't know the scale and distance, but I might drag it to the road on the south side of the property and call a buddy to pick me up.
Hope this helps.

Just wondering what you would do them. andy My point exacty! I guarantee that the radical topo declanations have created pinch points to hang stands along the lower mid-ridge areas where the deer will pause to smell & look things over in the evenings before dropping down into the bottoms. If that is not possible then string a rope handline waist high diaganolly from to tree to tree up the side of the ravine. I used to have a spot exacty like this location where I had to string 300' of handline to get to my set-up without having to walk an extra 3/4 mile around thru prime bedding areas. I killed many a deer at this location until it was sold to a tree-hugger... |

Mostly stupid errors on my behalf in the early years... |

To me it doesn't look like you have a lot of options in area number 1 as long as the wind is coming from the prevailing direction. Personally if I were hunting this property I wouldn't hunt this area at all until bucks start looking for does and then I would concentrate my hunting efforts between the swamp and the grassy field to the NW and in the SW along the creek between the swamp and the nature preserve.
As for area two it looks like most of the obvious places are already covered, but a couple of other spots you might try are along the long fence row to the NW a try(staying near the N end) and either of the two points to the NE.
