Default RE: HELP with hunting unfamiliar land!!!

Walk the edges of the field. Look for trails, and trails with rubs on them. Check out the trails with the most good sized rub activity(or other signs of big bucks). Walk them back a ways. If you run into thick cover that might be a bedding area, stop. Very quietly back off, and set up a stand 100 yards os so from the bedding area. If you walk a ways and don' t find a bedding area, follow the trail back 100 or so yards(whatever distance you think you can catch the deer during daylight).

Basically, find a trail that a good sized deer seems to be using. Follow it back a ways, and set up. For short term hunting, this is probably the best thing to do. You might also do very well setting up in funnels if you can' t find and good buck sign. Funnels are a good bet if no real concrete sign shows.
