Default RE: Frustrated! Help!

We call these deer "Back-Lot" deer. Or "Sand Lot" deer. In your case this could prove to be an incredible amount of luck. When big deer are pressured, they find the tinyest little hiding spots. The does on the other hand stay in thier regular feeding areas. The bigBucks could be holding up in just a little bushey patch of woods a long distance away from the pressured woods. You may in fact see more bucks than does and this is great. When the "Season" picks up you can take advantage of decoys with scent that will certainly draw them out of these "Patches". I would use a decoy about fiftyyards in the open off the edge of a thicket with a little doe pee or tinks and try to catch the big boys patrolling the edge of the thicket. Shot my second biggest deer this way. He wouldnt come out in the open but he showed himself! Down Buck!
