Deer will surprise you where they can get into/through but that doesn't mean you should shoot them there. I like to find a place where I have access but also where I can take my cart in and get the deer out. I did drag a deer about 250-300yds or so and that wasn't fun.

If its family owned land you are hunting ask if you can clear a nice path...not cutting big trees down of course...Deer are somewhat lazy and once they find your cleared path they will continue using it. Set yourself up where you have a good shooting lane or clear yourself a shooting lane and you will have a better experience. Preparation, practice, patience and luck and you will harvest many deer...
