It is pretty early right now. If it is a big wooded area, the deer may be in the lowlands hitting the farm crops yet. If you have a good amount of oak trees the deer will move into the wooded areas soon to start feeding on acorns. It is hard to believe, but I have seen it happen. Deer will abandon planted crops and go to an area with a good acorn crop. If you are new at this, try to find where the doe are concentrating to feed. Once the buck start chasing does that is where they will be. You just have to spend as much time in the woods as you can and learn. Most of the instructional books and videos are nonsense written by guys chasing half-tame deer on private property. It is a whole different game on state owned land. That is all I hunt and I don't regret it. It will make you a better hunter and nobody will sell it out from under you. Good luck, and remember, you will have some rough times in the beginning but everybody does.
