szap,

The best way to find prime hunting areas is to do alot of scouting. Especially in the off season when the deer are not pressured very much. Yes, there may be many feeding areas, but some will produce more than others. Also, determine where bedding areas are. I like to set up in between these feeding and bedding areas. Always keep the wind in your favor. If a particular stand location has the wrong wind direction, don't hunt it. Have several locations available so you can always keep the wind in your favor. That's the biggest thing, IMO. Back when I had alot of time on my hands (before wife and kids) I would spend as many hours scouting as I would hunting. Good Luck!
