Go ahead just say it Steve... Ed, why don't you shut your pie hole!!!
I'll surprise you some day with a good answer, instead of a smart ass one!
Keep in mind, if it were that easy, there would be even less big bucks roaming,
because they would get shot by the first person to get out and hunt.

Maybe some hunters have it figured out, and of course, these are the answers from the folks your looking for...
I'll name GregH as only one, of the many hunters who connect consistently.
Maybe some have it partially figured out. (I consider myself just breaking into this this bracket)
And some are lucky enough to stumble over a bedding area. (I used to be in this bracket)
*When you spend more time scouting, the luck factor tends to change towards skill!

I read a book from Hal Blood and he call's the mature buck a "NOMAD". I think for most of the mature bucks, it's the perfect name. It takes years to figure out the terrain or deer habits, what works in one area doesn't in the next. I believe they have preferred bedding areas for different times of the year or for pressure times of the year, etc..

I too, wish I could find the pot of antlers at the end of the rainbow!
I'll just keep clicking my hunting boot heels together and say "I wish I were in Kansas".
Or Illinois or Wisconsin or Ohio or ... you get the hint.
