Thus, they form a fair idea of the terrain. They know that deer bed on side hills and ridges in good cover; that they feed in the stands of oak, beech groves or the abandoned farm; that the trails will be in the valleys and through the saddles.

They decide to stalk the stand of oak as the deer will probably be still on the feed. They get the wind direction and use the team strategy of one advancing upwind to position and the other then approaching downwind. If no deer are there, they examine the ground for tracks and signs. It may be that deer are not feeding there.
