personally I think many deer are very hard to pattern, pending where your at.
some large tracts of forested land, deer, will travel almost daily to stay on top of new food, making them very hard to pattern if at all possible
BUT like stated above, deer are not magical creatures, they have to eat every day or almost
so, the best plan of attack IMO< is finding and learning there food options, and come hunting season, plan to be in the prime places, or just before them
after that is learning the lay out of the land, and knowing what and WHY deer like to be in different types of terrain,
' thicker area's tend to work as bedding area's
the way winds tend to blow, and so on
NOT all deer move the same way every day again making some extremely hard to pattern
BUT they all do seem to end up in again, prime foods at one time or another!
