Buck Hideouts Come in Small Packages
By Ken Piper
Most hunters expect to find deer in the more remote places where they hunt, but bucks -- and pressured deer in general -- have a knack for finding small hidey-holes where hunters don't look.
Small patches of woods, windbreaks and fence rows make great deer hideouts. The deer can see and hear danger coming from far away, and often these locations keep them close to their food sources.
Because a stealthy approach to such spots is often impossible, it's a good idea to post another hunter somewhere he can see deer exiting before you investigate. But by all means check out even the most unlikely cover. You never know where Mr. Big is hiding.
