On magic's last note...
I hunt on area on the Canadian border and once there is a few feet of snow on the ground (around Turkey day) the deer move from the mountains in the north, closer to town.
I have found a few yarding areas in the hemlocks similar to your description and is pretty neat to see all the deer while driving by on snowmobiles.
After the winter has passed you will find 200-250 deer collect together in this one spot and just like an army, they line up, head to tail, and march
into the woods heading north and disperse into there little havens. I have seen this happen only once about 15 years ago and my jaw dropped.
The lady who owns this farm says it's the same thing every year, very much a pattern as Todd mentioned.

So to your question, it depends, if they frequent this area as a residence during the season? If so, then female deer will = bucks during the rut...
I'm sure there are a few deer that like to call this "yard" home, you'll never know unless you try it.
Just remember, the only predictable thing about a deer is they're unpredictable!
