In the aerial photo, note the power line or pipeline that’s cut NW-SE. Find a trail that intersects it and set up down wind. There may be more than one trail so set up down wind of as many as you can, including the best looking one. Set up so you can give yourself a good shot and see up and down the length of that cut.

A cut like that is golden. Deer will often stop right at the edge and look around before crossing, maybe even browse a bit as there’s often new growth to nibble. Have more than one set up for morning, evening and different winds. It looks like roads go close to either end, so accessing it in the dark would be possible.

The ponds may be important, especially in a dry year. Also, some of the surrounding fields may hold crops that are food sources. Try to figure that out ahead of time. Set up on the trails leading into them, closer to the food in the evening, and closer to the bedding areas in the morning.

Another other thing jumps out at me. One is the area that I thought was a meadow. The reddish foliage (picture taken in the fall?) suggests a different species of tree/shrubs than the rest of the area—which would be logical if it was once grass. And has started to revert to forest. I wouldn’t be surprised if its sumac or maple. Deer eat both. Definitely worth checking out if you have time.
