Whitetail Myths...here's one

[wages]

The key to the big ones is simple get between their bed and their food. It’s the execution that’s tough. Too close to the bed and you spook them, too close to the food and you never see them before dark, plus you’re likey to spook them when you climb down.

I’ve scouted some great bucks in the past, knew right where they bedded and right where they fed, but I never saw them while hunting.

I figure they saw/heard me climbing into or out of my stand at some point and simply changed their travel routes or just waited until well after dark to move.

So again even with scent control, mature bucks are hard to hunt, until the rut, then some of them slip up and we catch them.
