Well, there are several things that I do that are "different".

First, Ilook for hunter sign... old hunter sign. My best-friend and I did this when we got permission to a new large chunk of property that borders his uncles. We spent hours just walking the woods looking for very old permanent wooden stands. Some of them looked to be in horrible spots, one in particular was just on a hillside with no really travel routes, major trails, sign, or terrain qualities, just a think hillside. We set-up in that area and were amazed at how many deer we saw. Sometimes finding the sign from the oldtimers who used the land years ago is the best sign to find.

Second, I look for stand areas that typically look for areas that help add a little extra cushion for the hunt, areas with lots of background noise, lots of cover, ect. The cover is kind of the norm, but having extra background noise, like getting near a highway or a factory that always has workers making alot of noise really helps cover up the sound of a bow being drawn back, ect.

When selecting stand sites on hillsides, I usually try to envision where the deer will be coming from and where they will be looking and I will set up on the up-hill side so that I am that much above their line of sight.

As far as there only being three true reasons why deer move, that isn't true at all. In alot of areas, cold weather forces deer to get up and move. They aren't moving from a bedding area to a feeding area or vice versa, they are/have to simply move in order to stay alive! This doesn't fall into any of the 3 "reasons" why deer move.
