Find some heave trails that intersect and set up there. If you can find a natural funnel, even better. A funnel could be described as some place the trials pinch together and deer travel thru to get from point a to point b. This may be a low a natural ridge that is easier to get thru or some heavy cover that keep them safe. In one of my particualr areas, its a small woodlot not 75 yards wide that wraps behind an industrial park. They either come thru this woods or thru the parking lots.

In early season, when it's hot, try a water source. Prerut, look for the food source. During the rut, find out where the Does are at. That's where the bucks will be.

Good Luck. You've come to a good place to learn.
