[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4933167, member: 2805"] Agreed, good read! My takeaway from the article which aligns perfecrly from what ive experienced in the field....f you want to kill mature bucks, the best way is to hunt unpressured deer. To kill pressured mature bucks, hunt near the thickest and nastiest stuff on the landscape. In TN, we kill mature bucks regularly in wide open fields in the middle of the day to the point it is almost ridiculous. Stuff you just won't ever read about in deer articles, because it isn't supposed to he true. But the key is we don't allow any hunting until the rut in Nov. We then hunt low impact areas for a week to 10 days and even if we dont kill, the deer didn't even know they were hunted. Then hunt another week 2nd rut in Dec. In MS where there is a ton of pressure for 6 weeks prior to the rut, i have to hunt totally differently. Ive learned to avoid the obvious places like food plots, feeders, open areas, etc because all those attract the bulk of the hunting pressure and the mature bucks avoid them at all costs during daylight Sent from my SM-G970U1 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
