[QUOTE="Oklahomabassin, post: 2648821, member: 1546"] One thing that can help is to have everything your buck needs to stay home. Thick bedding area (sanctuary) is critical, stay out of this area at all costs. Do not pressure deer in this area. It is the safe zone. Good food, plant food plots, regardless of a good mast crop, food plots will usually have forage all of the winter months. (Might not work as well in major agriculture areas.) Have good summer forage as well. Year around good forage and a sanctuary will keep deer home. During the rut, having the ladies will help as well. The sanctuary and good food keeps those fat ladies home during that time of year. I always pass on young bucks, call it cocky, but I want to think I am notch better hunter than my neighbor and if I don't spook the buck over to him and then my neighbor won't get the chance to shoot him. Another thing, visit with the neighbors and ask what there goals are, if they want meat, maybe you can work out giving him a doe or two if he lets the little bucks walk. You would be surprised how many have the thought, well my neighbor will shoot him, I might as well. But, a little communication and you both might be on the same page. Take em some summer sausage and say hi. If he is an azzhole slap him with the sausage and walk away. Lol [/QUOTE]
