RE: Locating deer
One of the best places to be set up on deer in the early season on unmanaged land in my opp. would have to be on a natural food as in acorns, particurlaly White oaks. Do alot of off season scouting getting to know the area and all it's hidden treasures. Use the land and it's features to bring deer in. A low gap on a ridge line is a prime crossing spot. Combine some good White Oaks a natural funnel and settle in for an exciteing day in the stand. Good Luck!
