Lots of clearcuts in the mts... Find some behind gates and watch the edges and corners. Find south facing brushy hill sides and ridges and just sit and glass them .. Make sure they are in your range to shoot as getting to a buck you see is pretty much impossible . If your going to sit in the timber try and sit on ridges or saddles these are high traffic areas for bucks searching for does. Rattling should work as I know many who have rattled bucks in. I would make sure you have a grunt call I have called in a ton of bucks with them. Other areas to look for are swampy bottoms and heavy alder patches the bucks like to bed in these areas and travel along the edges of the thick cover. If you find a area with big scrapes and rubs it could pay off to sit on them, can be boring , but effective.
