Default Question on Big Bucks!!!!!!!

I have a hunting spot that is predominatly white pine. Now there is a million 3 to 5 foot pines growing everywhere. They are from the larger pines that are all around. There are areas the the trees are 2 to 4 feet where you can see the deer coming. There are areas on the property where the pines stop and hardwoods start. The trails thru the 3 to 5 foot pines are thick. I can hardly walk thru them ducking and walking backwards. My question is will a bigger buck avoid these thick areas or will he go thru. What I mean is I think his antlers will catch all the branches. There is about a 12 to 15 inch area at the bottom of the trees that has no branches. The braches bend very easily.but I could hunt in the middle of it all where 3 trails come together or on the edges where it is more moveable.What might you do. I think all the does might be using the pines trails. This is thick stuff and I am not sure where to sit for the buck trails. The property is 10 acres.
