first of all i have no idea where you are to answer this question. if you were hunting my farm i could tell you where to go this is such a hard question to answer. give me some details on your area.
zack it sounds to me that youre trying to get youre dads interested in hunting.AS BUCKSLAYER stated it's hard to give advice not knowing the terrain afforded to you.the good news is that you have plenty of time to scout youre area b4 the next opener and know where the local deer in youre area travel.if you can obtain a topographical map that covers youre area and by reading deer hunting atricles and pictures you'll learn what is meant when saddles / bottle necks / benches/ edges are refered too.you might get dad' more interested in the outdoors by practicing marksmenship skills or archery, camping in the off season / fishing trips together are good ways for learning preparations.maybe he would enjoy vcr or taking pictures on youre jaunts. I hope these ideas help you i'm sure others will have some ideas to help you. If you stick with hunting i can guarantee you some moments that will last a life time. good luck
This is going to sound sarcastic, but go where there is deer. You have a ton of time to preseason scout, and that will show you where there is deer. Since we don't know where you are at, ask some hunters in your area that you know for some help on where to set-up. Also, on the web there is many specific state hunting website. You can learn a lot about your local area through this.
Take a walk around and check the sign. Talk to some guys down at the local sportsmens shop. Or even use the under utilized game warden or Fisheries and wildlife people. Uusally they will give you the lowdown on what's been seen where. Definitely read up on material to get a feel of where to look yourself. Food sources are an excellent place to start as well as places where deer are known to yard up.
One thing that could help to get him excited about it is to take him out scouting with you. Go out and glass to see where the deer are coming in and leaving the field. Try and locate their trails, follow them back and see if you can locate their bedding area. If you can do that then you can set up aways off the trail(s) and the bedding area.
