This is the new trendy phrase it seems.... to pattern your deer but who here with any type of certainty can say they’ve patterned a buck? Does definitely seem to be creatures of habit but a buck just makes less sense the more I learn. In fact after all my experience to this point I believe the best way to kill a mature buck isn’t some special tracking skill, or food plot, or cover technique etc. it’s just having good land and time in the woods.

Guys can’t rant and rave about how good they are at hunting this and that but the folks that consistently kill big bucks have good land and get to spend more time in the woods than others.
