    Fresh sign means you are in the right place. With a bit of practice you will figure out where they bed, where the feed and the trails they use to get between the two areas. Hinds have smaller home boundaries, up to a few kms, whereas stags have a huge domain and when yet rut they go for mike upon mile. Research what they feed on and then apply that to the forest you hunt. Satellite imagery may help you identify larger stands of trees that hold feed, and open river beds for winter. Broad leaf and other trees that have leaves that deer like to eat but are too high to reach once the understory has been browsed are a good place to target on a windy day. Animals are basic in the sense that if they aren’t rooting or running for their lives, the only important thing to them is food
