I'd try to find a pinch point or funnel where the deer walk between food sources and bedding areas.
Bingo!!!
Two of our properties have big thickets that are deer sancutaries: When the guns crack on adacent properties the deer head to those thickets. We don't go into those thickets. i do use a brush hog to cut 5' wide trails leading from the thickets to the food sources and to ponds. The deer like those trails and use them extensively. We have ambushed numerous deer from stands on those trails.
