I have always felt that the big bucks are in deep to be a misconception, the big bucks in deep are not pressured nearly as much as other deer, as a result they are easier to outsmart.

There are big bucks throughout white tail country, the smartest ones are the ones that live in heavily hunted/traveled/populated areas, they are far harder to kill than the deep woods bucks, they bed in the thickest stuff you can find, except for the rut these old boys stay nocturnal, they will not budge from their bed until it is dark and will return to their bed long before daybreak. Even in the rut these big ones will move far less than young bucks.

I think the best way to get those big boy' s out is to push them out with little help from a couple of buddy' s. If it' s your secret hunting ground, Just make a deal with your buddy' s...It' s my trophy, I' ll give you a few steaks, And I' ll buy the 30 rack

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.

Right now I' m scouting an area so thick that I don' t know how to even start to get into it but I know that' s where the the big boy that' s been leaving tracks around a pond is so that' s where I' m going he only comes to the pond at night.
