Not to be contrary, my experience has differed.
I have found that deer tend to cross finger ridges, walk ridgelines, sneak through dense areas and get nocturnal around feeding areas.
Main concern IMHO is to find an area suitable for growing what you want to grow. The deer will find the food source and eventually, establish patterns of access.
Now your job just got easier. Let the deer do the work for you (other than the purchase, planting and propagation).
Soil composition, drainage, access to hydration, sunlight and nutrients.
Good luck with it!
