[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5810765, member: 17"] Because we collect so much detailed hunting data, each year I can run an analysis of our hunting that produce a "topographic map" of hunting pressure, where the "hills" are the high pressure areas and the "valleys" the holes in our pressure. Once a stand has been in place and hunted enough that sightings have decline, we move that stand, and we use our topographic map of hunting pressure to locate the holes in our hunting pressure, and move the stand there. Often times, these holes in our hunting pressure have no buck sign in them (that's why they've not been hunted). But we will look for the best topography or habitat in that hole and place the stand there despite being no buck sign the area. Although these "hole in the pressure" stands often produce very few total deer sightings, they are our top producers for the oldest bucks. The oldest bucks seem to have a real knack for finding the holes in our hunting pressure and using those areas for much of their travels. [/QUOTE]
