[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5122400, member: 1409"] Agree with BSK, but there is a somewhat seasonal exception to this: During the rut. When bucks are roaming, with little on their minds beyond finding an estrous doe, they often seem oblivious to humans and other dangers. There are times you can almost do jumping jacks on your stand and even older bucks just seem little alarmed. Timing is everything, as in rut timing, including with some these spots like Headhunter has described. Just to clarify, I'm talking mainly about travel routes used by older bucks, rather than feeding or bedding areas. In many these "spots" the deer density may be relatively low compared to nearby areas where deer bed and/or feed. Bucks are simply taking the "easiest" route of least resistance between doe families and those doe family's preferred feeding & bedding areas (which are often outside the normal range of these bucks, except during the rut). On these roaming excursions, the bucks can be pretty oblivious to danger. [/QUOTE]
