Again are you looking for a place to take pics now and see what deer are on yer property or are you looking for a place to hang a stand to hunt in a month or more from now. Late summer and fall deer travel patterns can vary greatly. One weeks hotspot could be tommorows barren wasteland. If the oaks are still dropping acorns when you plan to hunt i would focus on that. If you have a lot of oaks dropping you will need to find what trees the deer are hitting-put up your cameras and look for lots of droppings. This should tip you off to where they are eating. Early season you have to find the preferred food source!! This can constantly change due to availibility and how many deer are eating there. As the rut approaches all bets are off- Hunt funnels and BEST of all doe bedding areas. And as i said in your other post if you are just lookin to get pics now i would focus on a water source or stream crossing.
