look for wind protection, (stand of pines with limb on the ground but open inside, south facing gully that the wind pass over, not thru)

Bucks will have dropped antlers by now.

Look for food area with water, deer need to conserve energy by minimizing walking, fallow corn field with running brook, open water)

BE PATIENT, listen, turn slowly and ID the the source.
let the deer teach you of how they act, be a Hunter, not a shooter.
If you're NOT sure of a shot, then don't shoot.
