These are great places to hunt when weather is nasty. Rain and wind are your friends. Go slower than you think you should. I've done this, and had deer stand up in front of me looking the other way because they smell me, but can't pinpoint where the scent is coming from.

Other than that, find a good stand on an edge. Deer will come in and out of such areas regularly. Bucks will cruise the downwind side of thick areas during the rut. Put your stand in a location where you can intercept them, but also where they will not smell you. You may have to be off the edge 50-75 yds.
