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.

I tried hunting today to after the rain with this in mind, glad I changed it up. I've been set up on the forest edge in a treestand, only seeing does, but rarely still hunt. I bumped a ten point buck out of the thick stuff today. I saw him before he saw me but he heard me. Kept out of sight but couldn't nock fast enough. I guess I'm just gonna have to always have an arrow nocked at all times on the way to the hidey logs.
