I was waiting to read it in the bottom of Jesse's post. If I did, I was calling him immediately for some heart to heart discussion lol.

I mean, he would look even better next year 
N wind is best, but this 0-2 mph S-SE wind doesn't scare me in the blind. Thermals will help me and I'm a scent free as possible with just a wafting of smoke, then Evercalm smeared all over the inside of the blind and I dripped Black Widow Branch Butter on the brush outside the blind. There's shit loads of pressure on this deer, so I'm either going to kill him when I have time to hunt, or booger him and push him nocturnal, which, I'm also good with. Mornings and evenings here are just as good. I'm just off the back porch

Hard to believe he's that big and hanging that close to that many houses/hunters in daylight, his days are numbered lol

"Get a cell cam... it'll be fun" they say. "Get a camper and go camping... it'll be fun" they say.
LOL. Won’t be the last time that happens dude. It’s gut wrenching. What’s worse is when you get a pic like that when you’re at “deer camp” in other part of the state.

Be thankful I have the luxury of this first world problem and hope I can put together a plan that works. Plenty of season left for it to happen if it's meant to be.
Yep! I still think about the times a booner I chased for 3yrs was under my stand 45mins before I climbed in. He was killed the next day at 11:55am after being bumped out of a corn field being combined, but Im thankful to know that me leaving work early that day was rhe right call.....just not early enough lmao!

Big temperature drop this week you may find him on his feet on daylight again.
I started putting cams out in May and it wasn't until October that anything stepped in front that got my attention. Pulled 5 cards today and have 3 shooters to chase and once again, the bucks avoid us all summer, but when the leaves start to fall, they are not far behind. Pretty pleased with having a double main-beamed buck, a clean 10, and a buck that is either really old, or is the offspring/sibling of one we chase a couple years ago. Either way, I'm a happy hunter this morning!
The double main-beamed buck.
The time is obviously off, but this was 4AM this morning right under the stand I hunted. This buck is either ancient, or related to the one I called "Loppy" a while back. He'd be 7-8 if it was him.
This feller is probably 3 and could use a year, but I doubt I afford him that opportunity.

Shoot the deer Kevin! Oops.wrong thread. 
Good luck to you and the family.

Had this video been 10 seconds longer, it would have caught the shot. After he dips his head at the end, I grunted to stop him from taking another step and he put his head back up in time to catch a 575-grain arrow to his chest. So close to one sweet trail cam video!
