Very similar.

I would say I probably concentrate most on pinchpoints where the available cover or predominant feature in the terrain narrows down considerably.

I'm also a huge "edge" advocate, as it's been proven deer are edge creatures. Most people think of edges as merely the outside line of a wooded area as it turns into a field, but I'm also talking about the edges INSIDE woods which are often created by different flora growing thickly or a concentration of buckbrush or cottonwood saplings which are thicker in one area. Briar patches or honeysuckle can create an edge which deer will skirt around or follow around to another destination.

I'll often simply stand still for a long time, carefully studying my surroundings until an edge just sort of appears. More often than not, I can walk over to it after identifying it from a distance and find travel sign there.

Obviously, I love inside corners -- and missed an easy crack at a 140+ on opening day by not being hardened enough yet and lacking discipline; I was picking my bow up off the ground when he popped out from the woods at 25 yards. It was dark enough to cause me to get down, but I still had plenty of good shooting light out in the open bean field he emerged in. I got busted by a trailing deer which blew at me midway through my draw cycle. If I'd still been in my stand, it's been a slam dunk and another P&Y on the wall.

Let's see... what else? I've never had good luck hunting watering sources; they're simply too abundant where I hunt.

I use aerial websites such as local.live.com extensively to identify potential new hotspots. I've ordered in topo maps before, but my Illinois farms I hunt don't have enough elevation changes to seem noteworthy... and those that do exist I usually find by walking the ground in the late winter/early spring.

I concentrate on corn mainly. (Crop rotations are ALWAYS beans and corn where I hunt; every field is the opposite every following year.). I've had deer hit beans early (exemplified by the 140-class), but once they turn brown I hardly ever see any action after that. Cut corn fields keep producing all year though.
