My Best Trail Cam Location in 2023

I had high hopes for this spot when I let a trail camera soak here all last season based on finding the spot during turkey season. After pulling the camera this spring, I was pleasantly surprised that it was my best location for last year.
What made it good during the rut:
1. Doe bedding
2. Extremely thick below and above, but openings within it.
3. A lot of hunting pressure from the top. Buckthorn down low makes it extremely difficult to get in a tree to hunt out of so being creative with a saddle, small platform hang on stand, or hunting from the ground is critical.
4. Camera is placed on a community scrape on the edge of the doe bedding area. I didn’t have much for buck activity until mid to late October.
I’ll be using this historical data around dates and weather patterns for this upcoming season here. Also, this video was from over a month ago, and when I traced back the date to when I figured the doe was bred that gave birth to the fawn, it lined up to a few days when it was chaos with chasing in there from November 10-13th.
