Barnes,
We hunt a lot of areas like that too. Putting on drives runs the doe out, but the bucks are usually too smart for that trick. My sister did get a nice six point, her first buck. But other than that not much luck.

I've watched this sucker for hours through our kitchen window 
I know he's wider than 16 inches. I'd go down to 18 inside, maybe. I have a buck on the wall with 22" and 25" main beams. I thought he was somewhere between the two. I'd go down to 22 inches on those as well. Here's a head-on of him. I think this is the same buck.

The other night my boy and I were spotting and saw a 10 pointer in our clover plot that dwarfed this sucker. I put my trail camera in the corner of that field and hope I get him.
If I take the experts' advice, I will hang a stand between the buck's feeding and bedding area. I looked at a topo map and came up with nothing. Just thousands of acres of big woods

the score dont really matter to me, (dont get me wrong, I would love to have a 150" buck on the wall) But I know that if that deer walked in front of me, hnd I already have a spot on the wall picked out for him.

High 120s. I shot a nice 8 point with 11 inch g2s and 9-10 inch g3s with 19 inch spread and around 23 inch main beams. Thought for sure he was going to make the 140 mark. Ended up at 133. Here's the link to his pictures. Nice deer regardless.
