HuntDeep, if you haven't already, check out the NDOW hunt information sheet for that area, it basically tells you where the deer winter, may be able to catch one moving through that 'type' of area. I have an early archery tag for the same area, but I don't really think what I learn will really help you....unless it stays warm during your hunt and doesn't move the deer.
Cheers & Good Luck! :7
