First thing I'd do is walk every inch of the property in February and March, shed hunting. Scout the bejesus out of it. Keep a record of the trail systems and apparent travel corridors. Same with bedding areas. Once you do all this you should be able to sit down and formulate a plan. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. If the deer show you that they prefer a certain area of the property for bedding, work on improving THAT area rather than trying to create a new one. Hinge cutting is effective especially if done properly. If you find hard mast trees in an area you plan to hinge-cut, focus your cuts on trees that would provide relief for the nut trees. Opening up the canopy around nut trees and reducing their competition increases mast yields in a big way. Try to determine how each cut would benefit a deer the most... Which direction should it fall... How many... Which way do the prevailing winds blow... Etc.
Eventually I would probably experiment with placing cedar posts for rub lines and pulling down low limbs to promote scrape activity. I think it'd be fun to try things like that to see how the deer respond.
Most importantly, and most difficult, I'd try to limit the majority of my activity to the offseason - late winter through early summer. Then stay out as much as possible.
