First get a topomap off of www.topozone.com and an aerial photo from terraserver

study it for natural funnels, food sources, ect.

look for white oaks as they will be a prime source of food when acorns fall

search for the thickest and nastiest cover and you will find where the big bucks bed. Of course be careful because if they bust you sneaking around their bedroom, game could be over. (better to be safe than sorry)

Locate the nearest agricultural fields, clearcuts, or any place you think they may be getting there summer browse from. Set up in an observation stand in the evenings and watch the food source. keep an eye out for where the deer enter and exit the fields. After a couple of weeks you should be able to pin down a pattern, use it to your advantage during the early season while the deer are still in their summer bed to feed patterns.

Remember, when the white acorns fall set up in a white oak stand. Gold mine!!

good luck!
