Thanks for all of the great tips. Regarding my hunting area, it is Mid Florida where we have a combination of wide open cow pastures, moderately dense palmetto bushes, moderately thick myrtle bushes/fields, a creek that winds through the property and other areas that are very thick and dense, nearly too thick to walk through. To my surprise, some of you have said hunt these thick areas, the ones too thick to walk. I look at these spots and have decided they are too thick for deer to walk through, though i occassionally see light trails in there.

The creek is another good spot since it provides cover for travel. The creek is shallow (3 feet) and the area is moderately mucky, but is moderately thick, consisting of 50-75 yds wide of a variety of oaks, palmetto trees, palmetto bushes, and other tall tree cover. The travel corridor will allow the buck to travel a great portion of the property that is otherwise open fields or lightly dense. At one point, the creek passes immediately next to a food plot.
