Around here they use the dry creekbeds as a highway system to access the cropland they use for food. They cruise the creekbeds, bedding where they want to untill that food souce is gone, then they move on. Very nomadic, you can't evenbegin to put them in the same behavior pattern as deer. Being on the rolling plains of Texas, our roads are set up on a1 square mile grid running N-S and E-W, most of the properties are in square blocks, so it makes it real easy to scout out and really get to know the area. On the aerial photos the creekbeds really stand out onthe cropland. So you just drive to where one crosses the county road, and look for tracks, If so, drive around to the other side and see if they come out again. You can get a real good idea what they are doing real fast. But then you must react, because if you wait too long they will be gone and you have to go looking again.
