Anyone ever find trophy quality game in areas your would never expect it?

One of my best spots to see and get a chance at a mature WT during archery season is next to a shooting range. Now im not behind it but off to the one side about 100yrds over a slight embankment. Sitting in there will show how much you can ignore and deal with noise. I usually put in ear buds and listen to pod casts because you don't hear much over the constant shooting.

One year archery elk hunting I got off to a later start from camp (530 am) and caught a bugle. I followed the bugle and found a string off elk making their way up the mountain just a few hundred yards off a busy 4wheeling trail. I ended up taking a bull that morning from the group and we have had several mornings over the past few years where we setup at the same spot and catch them moving through the exact trail. You would never guess a few hundred yards right off the trail with how much traffic is on it

My brother lived in the Quad Cities in Iowa for over 30 years - as the suburbs expanded further out some of his best hunting spots on the edge of town got ate up, but he still had permission on several pockets surrounded by new developments that held some real studs. Many great bucks in that area ended up being roadkill victims.

Yes. In New York City. Couldn't hunt them but damn there were some enormous whitetails.
