If there are any white oaks in the draws, make sure you clean out around them so you can hang a stand when/if they start dropping.
Outside of that, I would look for trails leading across the draws connecting the pine plantations. I bet you find a buck traveling those during the rut.

A deer will climb a dang near shear rock bluff here in my neck of the woods Ha! Well I know if one falls down in one of those gullies, it's gonna be a mother of a drag to get him out

N2, These are DEEP and pretty steep draws(hills of North Tuscaloosa county), do they normally go up and down those hills? I always looked for saddles. Thought deer wanted the easy way to move around They may not walk down them, if they are extremely deep. I would, at least, side hill them checking for trails. I'd, also, look at the head of those draws before it starts to get deep. There may be a good pinch point in there.

Walk down in the drains and find the creeks or wet weather runoff ditches., They have to cross somewhere and once you find where they cross you can walk the trails going up the hill and decide the best stand placement. Find a good crossing and work from there.

I picked up a new lease this year. It is mostly pines and some deep hardwood drains. Not much opportunity for green fields so will mainly be hunting travel corridors. I am having a tough time figuring out where to put stands, since it all looks the same. I have a couple areas that I already put stands on, but need a little advice on what to look for. Their trails are fairly hard to spot in the pines. Any suggestions?? Congrats. Ain't nothing like having new ground to figure out. That is fun as heck. Hunting the same ground year after year may produce, but once you have it figured out, it doesn't provide as much of a challenge.

Hunt the roads if they cut through the thick pines. We shoot deer crossing roads at my camp every year. I think that's good advice.

Give Caltopo.com a look. Free topo website where you can add shaded relief and aerial photos for free and print from computer. What I do when mapping out new properties is get on my atv with handheld garmin and ride all of the road systems mapping it out(it creates a track). import that track of data from gps to caltopo website and I can get a good look at where I was and how close I am to certain terrain changes or funnels that would funnel deer. you can stack layers with this website. maybe this will help..it has helped me find some of my better stands. Thank you for that site. Been looking for something like that for awhile.
