Feeeder pens.
If you want to feed deer and there's a place with trees (and landowner will allow it) you can put up two strands of barbed wire to keep cows out without having to drive posts. Bonus if you put it next to another fence so you only have to close in 3 sides.

If there is a water source like a pond find the feeder creek. The deer will follow the lower sight lines and anything that grows on it or to get to where they are going. Find the fence lines and put up a camera. A salt lick on the other side of the fence away from the cows might work better instead of corn.

Step in the cow shite on your way to the stand, it will work as a cover scent wherever you walk.

I've killed many a deer on cow grazing land. Used corn feeders without a problem. If cows came near, the deer would leave.
Might want to consider shooting a cow instead. More and better meat.

The thing about shooting a cow is once you shoot a cow you have to quickly deal with a dead cow. Unless you have a tractor and a cooler lined up immediately you are gonna have problems.

I may have told this story on here before.
I used to work with a guy that would take off the whole month of November to deer hunt. He'd always get up really early and get to his "stand". (He was a ground hunter). One day the warm afternoon sun hit him and he fell asleep under a Hickory tree.
He woke up a bit later to the sound of crinkling leaves behind him. It got closer and closer until finally it was right on top of him. He took his gun off safe as the anticipation and excitement was about too much for him.
About that time, SLURP!!!!!!! He felt something warm and wet on his ear. He jumped up and drew down on the beast only to discover it was an old feral donkey that had licked him on the ear. He told the old donkey he was lucky to be alive and at that point decided to call it a day.

I find it’s much easier to harvest the cows but much harder to butcher and move them

A young 300 ponder is doable. Shot a huge axis once and two of us handled it OK. I think it's better to hang the meat for a while. Doing this in the state of Florida is still punishable by death by hanging.
