One other tip is to try find the edges of the habitat types, quite often deer trails and areas of heavy movement are between those edges. Plus travelling the edges can be easier than getting right into the thick shit. Edges also hold different feed species a lot of the time, as a defined edge usually results in more light getting in under the canopy = more feed. Thats not always a hard and fast rule but i’ve shot a fair few deer just by hunting in and out of those edges eg a good one for sika can be red beech vs mountain beech, or red beech vs manuka.
