The woods I hunt are expansive and most often I will only see a buck for the first time out of the treestand if ever. There is not even any scouting to actually catch a glimpse of a live mature buck, they hear you coming from a mile away as they sit atop hills and ridges scoping for danger and skulk away silently to safer timbers without you ever knowing...I' ve seen them do it when I' ve been hunting and had trespassers invading the woods.
