A couple quick tips that seem to always work for me.
1. Walk along a small stream and watch for sign for some reason deer seem to concintrate mostly to one spot to cross. So look for a spot where thereare a lot of tracks at one spot.
2. The obvious look for an area that has a lot of dropings that shows that deer spend a lot of time in that spot. As with any place you hunt deer don't spend too much time scouting the same spots as this will spook the deer out of them. Locate an area hang a stand and then stay away until you hunt. And don't over hunt a spot or you will spook them away. I hope this helps a little. Mike
