Default Where to find the big boys

Nope, not telling but asking.

I got lucky this year and stumbled onto a spot in the forest that looked promising. At the top of a hill that plateaus into a patch of pines there sits a20 yard flat where 2 ridges lead up to it. The first time I hunted it 2 does came in. The second time I hunted it, there came 3 does followed by a 140 class buck 15 minutes later. The buck came up between the channel formed by the 2 ridges. I didn't get a shot and haven't returned to the spot since 11/25but am wondering if what I describe would be a normal travel route for bigger bucks? -or- didhe just happen to bepassing through that day?

Also, and as the thread title states, where can I find the mounters? What kind of land formation should I be looking for? Are there basic rules of thumb when trying tolocate bigger bucks? Is there a book written on how to locate big bucks? I need to prep myself for next year so I know where to be before they start rubbing and giving themselves away to other hunters.

Please help make some dreams come true. Thanks
