This land is outside of Bonham, TX. The property has a creek to the southern border and along the northwest border. I currently have two feeders on the land marked by yellow, the one to the far right of the shot gets a good amount of activity. I want to build two blinds before deer season this year where would you suggest putting them and where would you have the feeders?

that yellow one on the far right already pulling deer, i'd put a blind with good view of the approach from the creek and just leave that feeder alone
I agree. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Yeah makes sense for sure, that one I really wasn't planning to move was thinking about that other one more.
I've had success with food plots and feeders by making sure there is daylight cover. Deer will got it regardless but I've found that if they feel safe they are more likely to feed during daylight.
What's planted in your three shooting lanes?
Yeah good suggestions on the food plot there, currently nothing. Have had the land for a year need to get more intentional on food plots this yr
Visibility of edges near food and water. Deer don’t hang out in pastures, they hang out on the edges of pastures and in cover. So that pin is a no-go for me unless you’re able to take good long ethical Shots from there to the quality edge patterns they’re working.
Yeah the pin in just my flag for the land on Google maps, not planning on anything there.
You're north of Dallas so it gets colder there than south Tx. I'd look into cow peas, oats, rye you might even consider late season soy beans if you get the rainfall to support those.
Use cameras to find the 2 or 3 paths the deer use to the feeders. Then find a spot downwind to set the blind, somewhere that allows you to see the paths. Set the blind early to allow time for the deer to get used to it being there. Then when you fill the feeder. Walk to the blind, walk around it, and then leave. This will also get the deer used to unknown scents in the area.
