If you hunt in the mountains or hills...you'll have to be aware of uphill and downhill thermals.

With variations ---"Using the rule of thumb that thermals flow uphill in the morning and downhill in the evening."

Sometimes you can tell the size of a buck's rack...when he drags his antlers in the fresh dirt of his scrape.

You can sometimes tell the number of bucks in the area...when other bucks possibly make satellite scrapes around an original main scrape.

Look for deer funnel points in the lay of a land. For example: A mountain ridge that has two cliff faces on each side of it...save for the top of the ridge that slopes down to a stream crossing or whatnot.
