I would say your best bet is to look for heavily used trails and invest in a trail cam. This way, you can see what times they're used and by how many. If this is private property and you feel comfortable leaving a cam out there, I'd go with that option. As for this year, once the rut starts and the deer seem to throw caution out the window, you'll start to seem them. Nothing we can say can match a good scouting effort. Still hunt the morning and evening, and take 3 or 4 hrs to scout different areas. Mark the bigger trails along the property line and see where they lead. Once you know the area like the back of your hand, you'll feel comfortable knowing which stand will produce, with what wind, and what time of day. Good luck and let us know how you made out this year.
