For me, it depends on the weather:
If it's very cold, I know the hunters will be moving before to long and I'll set up on the escape routes to cover. I have enough insulation

i can usually wait the other hunters out.
If it warm, I'll set up on the normal bed and breakfast routes I would expect the deer to follow. Or I start my moving-stand.
Just before lunch I set-up on escape routes expecting the "lunch" movement will get the deer moving. Usually this works VERY well.
Incidently, the first Saturday I'll hunt the fields because I know that ere is usually a lot of hunter movement in the woods and I'll expect some running action in the open.
I've never had any success near the thickets. It seems I'm always on the wrong side.
Interesting question.
