Alex, I think you're prolly on to something. I believe these mature deer are a lot smarter and many pattern us more than we know!
Hope he slips up for you! Cool pics though!
 
Nope. Just the smell of smoke. He has me patterned. Hes got a formula in his head from the sound of my truck, the minimal amount of noise I make walking and getting to my stand. I dont think he had me fully figured out yet, just knows to use caution. Hes always there when im not. I have 5 other instances where he showed up in shooting light.

Have you tried hunting all day long??

I'm going out tonight, just not sure where. If the rain holds up, I'll go to my blind and try to shoot a doe. If it's not raining real hard, I'll go to the farm and try a spot and stalk.

Looks like work may allow me to hit up docs place for the last hour and half or so. Hope its just a slight drizzle by then, according to the radar it looks like it should be.

Take somebody with you and have them drive off with your truck about an hour later. Problem solved and buck on the ground ;)

Ha, joe and I already discussed ideas. I have a buddy that lives up the road. Ill trailer in my ranger utv and drive to the barn I park at. Its quieter.

But a new noise none the less. Might make him even worse to get on. Seriously, I would just drive your truck and have your buddy take off in it about an hour later. That buck is use to your truck and will know the coast is clear when he hears it take off. If you drive the ranger in he will move off.

I do similar shit at the property ive been hunting. Lots of options as to where to park/enter..

Need to get me one of those parachutes with a big ass fan on the back so i can just 'drop in'.
