Where to begin. You've already gotten some great advise so I'll keep it short. I love water. You didn't describe the creek very well but would walk the distance of the brook and look for crossing. Depending on how wide and how deep the brook it may well concentrate where the deer cross creating a funnel. My most prodictive stand is in a creek bottom and the deer have one specific crossing the prefer. You may well find the same sort of activity on this property.

Get an aeria photo and topo map and look for likely bedding area and then routes to the food. Transition zones as mentioned by others (pines to hardwoods, thick creek bottoms, Small fingers of forrest that reach out into fields) these are all great spots to set up. Look carefully for sign and always hunt the wind.

It sounds like the property has great potential. Good luck

Also, Welcome!
