Food, food and more food. If you can find where they are feeding and some bedding areas, set up between the two and you will see deer. There may not be any food plots, but you can really see an area where they have been eating acorns cause the leaves and ground are all dug up. I took my best buck deep in the woods where they were feeding on acorns. One advantage to hunting big woods is that they move earlier since they feel more concealed in the woods.
