Depending on the size of the property, determine how to best get to your hunting spot without having to cross much of the property. My point would be that if it's a small woods, hunt the edges and don't go into the middle of the woods. If you have a food source, hunt the edges of it. When you consider putting up stands, assuming a fixed stand like a ladder stand, try to assess which was the wind typically blows and make sure the stand is downwind of where you expect the deer to show up. I like to use thick trees that have a lot of cover on them as opposed to clean trees where a guy sticks out and is easily seen. If it's a small woodlot and you think there is only one or two does using it, consider not shooting them until after the rut is over because you want them still there to bring in the bucks during the rut. And spend a lot of time this fall before season watching the property without disturbing it if possible.
