in my opinion, scout the transition lines. where swamp meets pasture, palmetto flats meet a thicket, oak hammock meets food source, etc. when find these transition lines start looking for buck sign...rubs, scrapes, etc. if you find a transition line with buck sign, try to position yourself where you have a good line of sight on/near the transition line and between the food source and bedding area's. after this, keep the sun to your back if possible and/or face the direction where the wind/breeze hits your face. big bucks can come to you from down wind, but from my experience it's rare...especially if your going to be in a ground blind. treestand in my opinion is better not only for visual purposes but also keeps some of your scent away from the ground floor.

if you can find all this in one area and set up like i described, it'll be a good hunt.

or you can borrow DD's horseshoe and sit in your truck and shoot one...lol
