Good tip Jim,might I add that you say they are usually near a feeding area, which is right.We all know that the young bucks and does are usually the first ones out to feed most of the times and the bigger boys come out late, so sometimes I will locate my stand deeper in the woods hopefully to be in the same area the big ones mull aroung and wait before they come out to feed.

Well said guys!! I have really been noticing this alot more in the past few years as I start to bowhunt more and more! I hunt certain pastures is sept that are full of batcheler groups of bucks, come the beginning of oct I will not see a deer in there till late in the rut when they are moving heavy and trying to hide from rifle hunters! My whitetail I shot this fall I seen him in sept cross a road right in front of me, I knew he was really wide and seen the stickers coming out both sides! He ran into some heavilly posted stuff, The next time I sen him was 2 months later the day before I shot him and he was across a 2 mile wide partially dry lake bottom, and on the other side of 3 miles of hills and about 2 miles in the open chasing does!He was 6-8 miles away from were I first seen him! They really will travel to find the does!!

We found a spot late last year on our farm that is a perfect example of a staging area. Its near a corn field, it has a long thin strip of woods that goes into the field. It has rubs all in there, literally every couple steps. Bucks must be hanging in there until dark and then feasting.
