If you go walking during the middle of the day, I'll generalize that most bucks will be bedded down close below the downwind crest of a ridge, and more likely near a saddle than elsewhere. Hunt crosswind, along the length of a ridge.
When Ol' Bucky breaks to run, he'll head into one of those saddles--avoiding being skylined and being in some cover--and will run upwind. Position your stalk and shooting-spot accordingly.
FWIW, Art
