Like wareaglecj says, white oaks are a great target. Especially in early season. If you bait them early season then they will eventually hit your bait almost daily and keep on hitting it as long as you provide the corn. If you hunt the bait pile hard then you will pressure them to stop coming into it or just at night.

Hunt the bait pile until you take a couple deer there, and then move to a different location. Look for cover and water and set up off game trails in that area. Always check the wind when deciding on a stand site. You don't want your scent blowing across the game trails that the deer will be using. After hunting the area for awhile you will gain awareness of when and where they move. Adjust accordingly throughout the season.

The most important thing you can do to put this all together successfully is practice with your bow. Can't emphasize that enough. You can have deer all around you, but if you are not confident shooting your bow then everything else won't matter.
