Big Bucks Can Hide in Small Places

Big Bucks Can Hide in Small Places

By Ken Piper

Most hunters tend to look for big bucks in the most remote, nasty and impenetrable places -- and it's certainly true that your odds of taking a bigger buck are better in places other hunters refuse to enter. There are some very successful deer hunters, however, who take record-book bucks using a different tactic with the same principle. Look for small patches of woods that are overlooked by other hunters because of their small size. Also, you'd be surprised how a big buck will make use of a tiny patch of cover -- like a brush pile in the middle of a field -- as his pressure spot. Be the hunter who takes an extra minute to check out these overlooked sanctuaries, and you just might be rewarded with a wall-hanger buck.
