Bigger bucks seem to either cruise down wind or cruise the side the does enter from and smell the trails going in and out... If you look close you will usually see a rub / scrape line where they cruise, and the[glow=red]rubs will be left right where the doe trails intersect with the buck trail[/glow].
Bumping this thread because it's a bunch of good information from what I've read so far. Would one method for locating buck trails be to walk doe trails (out of season) to locate rubs, and thus, buck trails. Doe trails are so much heavier and easier to see.
Could work, but you could also just walk around doe bedding areas and doe food sources and find the intersections.
