Deer are in pre-rut and their feeding habits right now are pretty dependable. When the whitetail breeding season (rut) begins, the bucks will be on the move and more difficult to pattern. Find a good oak grove with acorns or a trail leading into or out of an agricultural field and you are well on your way to arrowing an early season whitetail.
