Seems the answers have been given. I find that scouting is the key, but I know most hunters don't have the time to glass an area all summer long, or go tracking through the woods in the spring for travel routes, rubs etc. Try obtaining a TOPO and arielmap online, look for funnels, pinch points, ridge lines/benches etc. This way you can hi-tech scout at home on the computer. For me, I have a few food plots and they always have small bucks and does in them during hunting hours, for the mature guys, Ineed to be back in the woods at these locations I mentioned above or 50 or so yards back in the woods off the foodplots.
As they say, being at the right place at the right time! Some hunting videos don't always tell you that they where in the stand for a week before Mr. Big came along!
Good Luck!
