The area I live in is called "The Knobs" because of all the hills that galciers left behind, the deer bed on top of these knobs so that they can see or hear danger approaching easily and bail out in the opposite direction. These knobs also tend to be topped with oak flats, the ones where you live probably are too. In inclement weather you'll likely find the deer on the leeward side of them for wind protection, check out tangled thickets for signs of bedding. If there are cedar thickets on the property you've definitely struck gold.
