What is the single most important feature your farm needs to hold mature bucks? Food excluded?

3-10 year cutover is great. My personal preference is 20+ acres of fields that are completely overgrown with briers and such. I have seen/killed many of mature bucks out of those types of fields
x2 , mature bucks don't hang out where they are constantly threatened. Food and cover is great and very much needed but to me hunting pressure is the number one key to holding mature bucks and deer in general. I have seen mature bucks live in subdivision where hunters don't pressure them or in other words don't consistently interrupt their daily activities.lungpuncher1":h0x1dudk said:Low pressure is king.
I've seen studs lay up in crp or open woods. But put some pressure on them and they are gone.
They know where to bed and when to bed there no matter the cover. But you put alot of pressure on them and they are gone.
