ABOUT: For several days of my 21 consecutive days of camping-hunting the 2024 OTC archery deer season, I focused on a riparian environment consisting of water sloughs & irrigation canals, farmed-leased alfalfa fields and adjoining public, state lands.
The magic ingredients needed for a chance at a big trophy buck: H2O, food source and cover.
This video offers a few hunting tips as well, so listen and watch closely.

MORE ABOUT: Scouted, hiked over 2 patches, 1+ square mile each, of cottonwoods & oak trees. Thank goodness for Onyx map system, or I would have needed a compass in those thick trees having no vision of the horizon.
I come across a good buck to pursue, it was heavily rutting, chasing does and fighting off smaller bucks. In 3 days, planned, strategized to specifically hunt this buck, passing on 3 smaller bucks.
The buck met my minimum qualifications: 4x4+ points mainframe, 26"+ antler width and scoring 170+ point rating.
Although the cottonwoods, often I call these "aspens" as I'm accustomed to high elevation muley country, were void of other hunters this weekday. But evidence of hunting pressure was there in the woodlands. I come across and discover a total of 7 well placed treestands. But no hunters sitting them at 830-10 o'clock AM. Pretty sure come the weekend, these treestands will have hunters posted, waiting to get buck lucky.
