The ag lands of the midwest are easiest place to kill any deer, including mature bucks..... The terrain funnels their movement and it's just a matter of time before one of those bigboys comes cruising down a treeline, draw, or bottom.......

As was pointed out, a big woods, mountain, or south east hard woods deer can and do take any path they wish..... Trail cam surveys show me that a buck on my place almost NEVER uses the same trail more than 1 time per 2 weeks!! It's amazing how much of this stuff is luck!
