Great question! I also wonder what others do!

Of course you'll get those on here who tell you it depends on the phase of the rut... blah blah blah! If there were an easy answer, it would be to hunt where the most recent doe movement has been. Where do the does bed down? More often than not, the bucks know where the does spend their time and will often times search those areas for a receptive doe! I like hunting in some timber most of the time. This is primarily because the open fields here are pretty large and it's difficult to decide where to set up to get a good shot on a nice buck(with a bow, with a gun: no pro0blem). In the timber, there are more obvious trails and travel corridors where you can set up an ambush site.
