I hunt woods no agri. fer 10 miles in any direction. Deer 10 or less per sq. mile, well all i have saw this past hunting season was 13 total from Sept. 15th to Jan.15th. I took 4, 3 with my CB & one with my rifle. Swamps, open woods, nasty slash alders you have. I would find the thickest nastyest area in and around the swamps. They will come to edges to browse as they wipe out food close by where they bed up. Once you find a trail follow it til it intersects with another in the nasty area. I would fine half dz areas like that & use a climber or ground blind you build out of natural folage & such. Using stumps downed logs even a pit on hammocks above water lvl. I haven't ever hunted where i saw more than 40 deer total in 20 yrs. I use to live in Ms & saw tick toters of over 500-600 at a time in early mornings & evenings.
