    Hunting area's that hold these so called big bucks And as much scouting as you can get in normally helps you knock down a few good bucks. or you could just join all the other guys and just pm dana

    Find some guy in your area that kills lots of big bucks. Stake out his house early AM, and follow him to where he hunts.
    Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!

    What's your address !!

    Seriously though, you need to take the time to find out where the big guys like to hang out, and it might take a heck of a lot of time doing this, but if your prepared to do some serious walking, you "will find them". Shed hunting is a good alternative too, it has helped me in the past. I like to go where "some" others decline, as they think the terrain is too gnarly for them, and too long a hike. Big timber, up high, with a meadow like area close by is where i find to have most of my success for the whoppers. But hey, I've seen trophy bucks on the road going in to where I want to hunt too, so go figure.

    Spend tons of time out there scouting and hunting,and don't shoot anything that isn't huge. Once your tag is filled your done. Be prepared to come home skunked when your buddies are bringing home decent bucks. Eventually it will pay off.
