[3nails]

everytime i look at those bucks it amazes me, u must be the king of bt hunting 

  I can't take the credit. My Father leads me to them and I shoot them. He gets the glory!

well he definately knows some places then! ive seen 2 bt bucks in my life and one was infront of the school and the other in a neighborhood    , but in my defense we moved over here from oroville and know nothing about the area or its wildlife

Hit the high country when you can. There is absolutely nothing stopping you from doing the same.

@ WAHunter not sure what timber companies there are in your neck of the woods but the main one here where I'm from is Weco.  Anything drivable gets pounded so hard I swear they need to start putting up traffic signs, you may get lucky getting one this way as I do with my wife every year because she's not into walking plus I take the kids, but for me all walk in areas is where its at!  Less hunting pressure, better buck to doe ratio, and more mature bucks.  I would find out where your walk in areas are, find a high spot where you can glass down into about 10 foot high jacks and wait for one to pop out in an opening, one WILL slip up for sure.
