Bobcat:
Congratulations on the new hunting spot. First thing that I would do is get a topo map and aerial photo of the area. These will help you locate such things as benches, saddles, and funnels. Bucks like to walk the edges of benches so they can see what's above and below them at the same time. Saddles are those low areas between two hilltops. Deer like to use these as they are easier to get to the other side of the hill instead of having to climb over the higher points. They really funnel the deer. Funnels are those naturally occurring tight places like a thin patch of woods between two fields, etc. All of these things can be found on topo maps and aerial photos and will cut your scouting time drastically. That way the less time spent stomping around in the woods, the less likely you are of spooking the deer. These are just a few, but I'm sure that there will be others with helpful hints too!
