You need to burn some boot leather. I can't tell you what the deer are eating or where they are feeding from 10,000 feet in the air.

If you can't scout in advance, try to figure a way to avoid most other hunters. Get to an area early, and plan to walk a trail a good distance in the dark.

If the area isn't too mobbed with guys do some still hunting through mid-day. You're basically figuring the deer out on the fly. A gps may be useful to mark areas with good sign.

Looking at the aerial, the land appears somewhat hilly. I have always found good deer trails associated with saddles in ridges, especially if there are ridge flats with acorns nearby. A good place as any to start.
