Get the terrain map of the area. Look for funnels. Funnels are things like gorges or valleys that are wide on one end and much less wide at the other end. This funnels the deer as they traverse the valley from the wide end to the thin end. Set up at deer signs at the thin end. If there are streams walk the bank, deer tend to cross at the same place on streams more so than regular trails. It is also easier to check the freshness of the tracks on the bank where it is likely to be soft or muddy. Hope this helps.
