Put some cams out and start humping the steepest dark timber you can find. Then figure out their predominate elevation line they like to travel. During season find a band of does and check them routinely. Every one of my bucks in the panhandle and nwest Montana corner was checking and tending does, a few close to a dozen. Lastly, hunt every day if you can, as the most successful simply have more days afield in the right zone. A few over the decades in the dark jungles. The last one is my buddies, again tending and checking many does. I had gone by an hour prior and was sitting two hundred yards above watching several little bucks running around and he came into his group which had come in behind me. We have killed several in a little 1000 ft band. I’ve seen trail cam pics of a few pushing 200, but where they roam is often crazy.
