Editor’s Note: To accomplish the goal of finding and taking big bucks, you must first establish how to locate a piece of property with the potential to produce a trophy buck, how to manipulate the habitat on that land to hold a trophy buck, how to find that trophy buck and hunt him, and how to successfully take that trophy buck.

Do research on the Internet to learn the closest state to where you live, if there aren’t that many trophy deer in your state, that has the possibility of producing a 200 Boone & Crockett buck or at least a buck in that range. Talk with game managers, and biologists in that state, and watch the Facebook deer groups and their posts for that state. You may want to drive to that state, if possible, to search for land where you may discover your dream buck.

If you’re bowhunting, follow these steps to take your trophy buck of a lifetime. Find a bow that fits you and delivers the speed and accuracy you want in a bow, and match that bow with the broadhead and the arrow shaft that delivers accuracy and knock-down power.
