Earlier in the season that could be true, but as you get closer to the rut everything is different. Early you can pattern bucks for about the first 2-4 weeks of bowhunting. After that, changes happen with their testerone level and they change their routines. There are different stages they go thru.
This time of year you want to be close to doe bedding areas. To concentrate on the does, that is where the bucks will be. They should be chasing and breeding at this time of year in the northern areas.
