    Cameras are the best thing since sliced bread. You know whats in your area or what has passed through your area. Otherwise old fashioned field time glassing or hunting and hoping you catch a glimpse of one. Good Luck!

    first i like trail cams to see if you have big bucks, i hunt funnels most all the time,close to corn fields this time of year, standing corn even better

    find the doe's and the bucks will follow. i think the bigger bucks are just starting to move in my area so you still have a good chance. good luck

    Go on google and find the arial photo of your property and we can tell you where to start looking.

    check out google earth, you have to down load it but you can learn so much from it, it will cut down on you leg work.

    what kind of ground is it.. farm land or wooded. what kind of crops.

    Look for trails converging, maybe near water, or to and from feeding areas. They have to drink, they have to eat.
