MY opinion.....but everyone's area is different. Here are a "FEW" things that could influence one's "strategy":

1. Buck/doe ratio
2. Proximity to structures/dwellings (how used to human scent are the deer? How used to human interaction?)
3. Size of woods available to the hunter
4. Population of herd
5. # of mature bucks being hunted IN the area (not travelers)
6. Proximity of area hunted to bedding areas


these are just a FEW that each hunter has to weigh in his own circumstance....and then come up with his own game plan. Cookie cutter game plans are OK.....but they're too "cliche' " for me. Nobody hunts my woods, but me (figure of speech).
