[QUOTE="Snake, post: 3743354, member: 7051"] First of all I would take a look @ the private property to see if I seen enough sign to give it a whirl . Deer are similar to humans as far travel , they tend to take the easiest route available to get from point a to point b . Look for feeding areas (fields , oak bearing trees , fruit trees etc). Then look for the nastiest , thickest part of the property which we could assume it would be your bedding areas except on property that has no one hunting it deer could bed in the wide open woods . But to make things simple deer eat and sleep but around the middle of November things get wild because the rut (breeding) occurs . Find well defined trails and set up on the downwind side . Deer 's best defense is it's nose so playing the wind is a must . Never set up to close to a bedding area until you have more experience in doing so . Shoot the first good sized doe you see and in your place a yearling will suffice and they are the best to eat . Once you field dress the deer the weather will determine how long you have before it needs to be in at best a cooler or to the processer . There are a wealth of info some can give you here once you map out the property you are going to hunt and these guys on this site will help you ! Welcome to the world of hunting ! [/QUOTE]
