TEmbry, I'll try to go a little more in depth on what I do, bear with me I'm not good at puting things into words.

I find where the different doe groups are bedding and feeding and how they travle to and from these locations. I make a note of which food sources will be primary at different times of the season. I've found these primary sources to mainly be used by does and young bucks.

Then I find the secondary and isolated food sources. I make a note of when these sources will be available. I've found these to mainly be used by mature bucks.

My dad showed me a trick to finding food sources I would like to share. If you are walking agood trail and it fades away, you arevery close to the food sources or an area the deer like to brows. Look around and find what there eating.

I make note of the creeks, springs and water holes. I also make a note of transitions through out the woods, old growth, new growth, pine thickits, logged areas and clear cuts.

I find the rub lines and scrapes, paying special attention to the ones that show up in the same spots year after year, that happens for a resone. Then I compair my findings to the lay of the land. Things become clear and make alot of sense.

I know this sounds complicated but its not. With a little practice its easy. I take my maps to the woods and do gride aserch for sheds and sign late winter. I do 20 acres at a time and this stuff jumps out at me. I can do 200 to 300 acres in a couple days, and know it better than pepole that have hunted it for 20 years.

Hope I helped some one, THANKS for reading.
