I'm curious where you have seen or taken "big" bucks.
When you see or have taken a "big" buck, how often do you see them using a distinctive deer trail? I bet 95% of the does I have taken (who arent in a field feeding) are taken from a deer trail or just off of it. But I have taken only one of my better bucks from adeer trail. Therest of the"big" bucksI have seenare never on a deer trail. They may be 30 yards off a trailparelleling, but more often, they are moving at random through the woods, picking their own path. What are your experiences??

My natural tendency is to set my stands watching a particular trail but when I see nice bucks, they usually arent on it.
