Not your secrets just get us around some of the learning curve.
If you can get aerial maps of the area, that would be a good start. You need to walk the area one section at a time. I have tried this in the past but no one would help when it comes to deer hunting. When you find a good spot don't tell anyone where it is. Park in a different area and walk to it.
