    Thanks, I thought that there might be worth keeping an eye on that boundary.

    Advice from the patrol guys that they reckon applies to most or all blocks was, that in the morning the deer tend to go from the farm side to the coast side, and hang out in the tight cover amongst the dunes. In the evening they go back the other way. Also that the decent bucks only move at very first and last light. So figure out the wind, be in place before shooting light, and be there again until last light. There are usually yearlings spread around the cutover as well, and as several have said on here, in amongst the gullies and ridges where there is heaps of cover in amongst the pines as well. The ones we saw did not appear to be travelling either way, but were hanging out in the cutover near cover. But it was a full moon early evening, so maybe the deer were not moving as late or early as usual.

    The trick is trying to work out where the new cutover is, as Google earth seems to be 3 or 4 months behind, and using blk 5 as an example thats about 100ha+ of new cutover.
