Velvet.

When in velvet, bucks and bulls avoid injuring their antlers by sticking to open areas. This is why we see them. As soon as they harden up, they can go anywhere and venture into the bush for safety from both hunters and four legged predators. Find the nearest tangled up hell hole, you will find your buck.

Though in the OPs situation, cattle will push game out as well.
Yup I had a buddy walk around and get the cattle to go through a dense pocket of brush...out popped the whitey, stopped and looked back as cattle are common, I was sitting 50 yards away...thank you cattle.
