Big Buck Hide Outs

In my experience of finding and setting up on mature bucks through the years. There is one thing I've noticed about the ghostly 5 year or older mature whitetail, is that they are a whole different animal than they were at 3 or 4, that's for sure. They spend a lot of time alone and in the most remote spots they can find. A lot of times when I get a booner on camera during the summer he's always alone the whole summer long it seems. They have us figured out more then we care to admit on our patterns and habits as well. Stay as scent free as possible at all times even when goin in to check trail cams or to hang your set. The first thing I look for when I hit a new property is always locating the food on the property and the potential bedding areas and pinch points for stand sites. Then I find those out of the way off the beaten trail type spots, that booners always hide out in. If you keep in mind the fact that if you where him you wouldn't wana be bothered either. Remember this year when scouting find the thickest, most hiddin place on your property and that's where your next wall hanger is going to be.
