Find well used trails where the deer are moving between the timber and cut over.
They will usually bed in the thick stuff if it isn't raining hard.
Set up on one making sure the wind is in your favor.
I always liked hunting an over grown cut-over when it was really cold, but the sun was out. Deer would often lay in the cover so the sun could hit them.
If you glass one carefully on a day like this, it's possible to see their exhaust (breath) if they aren't too far away.
