I look for good summer forage and water, preferably both in the same area. Deer can only digest the first 3 or so inches of a sapling, because the fiber lower down makes it harder for them to digest.Look for small saplings and bushes that look like they had a few twigs bitten off. In late winter these areas will mostly have died off, so the best time to scout these are during early to mid spring.

Also, you can forget about these areas once the acorns start dropping.
