Based off my research I thinkthat the best spot prior to the rut and especially early season is to try and hang your stand in an area in which deer will pass through going from bedding to feeding areasand vice versa. I hunt in Long Island in New York. How do you know where deer like to bed? The are I hunt has some open grassy patches within some thin woods. It has wide open fields, it has some very dense woods and it also has some clusters of pine trees?

Where would they most likely go to bed down?

Thanks
