johnnybravoo77 is right on the money. If you have time to get out and just enjoy the area for a little while, you'll learn more than anyone could tell you from looking at a map. Remember, you're not just looking for deer, you're looking for the right deer and with just a few days out in the area, you'll learn enough to get close. Look for the beaten down trails, what I've found is that quite a few deer use the same trails at different intervals, so if you have good beaten cross section of trails, setup nearby but not close. Also, multiple stands are a must to defeat the nose of the deer. You can use coverscent and soaps but if you sweat or move too much prior to getting in position, you're scent is going to bust you. Most areas have a common wind direction, or at least where I hunt, and 7 out of 10 times the wind will be the same. So learn the area and observe every deer that you see closely.
