You have to find the funnels, where the terrain naturally lead the deer from one bedding area to another or to a food/water source. Usually it's a creek, an old logging road, hedge row, etc. You need to set up in these transition areas, how you get there is another story. It may involve cutting a path through the brush (after this season) or accessing the property from an adjacent property, with that owner's permission.

SW has oaks - a food source close to a bedding area. I would hunt here and try to figure out how to get in there without too much noise. It looks lie there is an old road along this area, can you follow this? If not, it might involve going in very early. Most important once in there - during the rut - sit all day in order to see the bigger bucks.
