Food ..... does go to the food, and the bucks follow the does. Travel routes to the food are prime places to pick off does and bucks that are a bit less weary than older more mature and dominant bucks.
From that, scent control and stand placement. Don't set up directly on their trails, but rather just off of them. And use the prevailing winds to your advantage.

Too many guys expect that they have to bring them in. Set-up to allow yourself a shot. Don't be afraid of moving in on deer you see. That's how you kill them!

Everyone has already given you excellent advice. All I can say is......Get in a good travel funnel, control your scent, and set your standwith the knowledge in mind of the bucks patternsyou gain fromscouting. Most of the rest is just luck in my book.
