you state DNR website may also have some pretty sweet maps that you can look at online, I know WI does. Otherwise, ditto to what has been said. Pinch points are good, pinch points near food or water sources are better, and pinch points near food, water, bedding areas are the best. The last ones are very hard to find by just looking at an aerial or topo, but they produce. Otherwise, for this time of year, look for any feature that forces deer to move along a certain path between any of those aforementioned hotspots. Find a ridge, draw, streambed, fence, etc. that leads between bedding areas, food sources, etc. or that crosses the direct line going between those hotspots on the map, and you've found a good spot to hang a stand.

One thing to remember as well is wind direction. Most places have pretty consistent wind patterns. The dominant wind pattern for my area is out of the west. Therefore when I'm looking at maps, any spots I find that can't be hunted effectively with the west wind are put at the end of the list. I never rule out a site until I can look in person, but I won't make that the first stop on a scouting mission generally. For example, one of my favorite spots is a place that can't be hunted with a west or northwest wind, but any other wind and I'm in a stand right there.
