tnichols a buck in particular will prefer to enter a field at or near the tip of either a thicket or woods as far out into the field as possible because they want to be able to see as much of the field as possible before they enter it, this is one reason why you will find in a square field most deer will enter it from the highest corner they can, it allows them to stand right in the edge of the woods and check out the whole field before they enter it. This does not hold true 100% of the time, but definantly the majority of the time.
