Thanks guys!
Heres a quick short story till I get more time.
Its still hard to comprehend I just smoked this dude at 7:55 this morning. On the dot, coordinating with the past 3 mornings worth of cam pics. Unreal, I just walked into my bedroom for the first time today to my computer and I have a desktop background of this deer from Oct.15th 2013. I was obbsessed. I have pictures of this buck dating back to August of 2012. If I had to guess I was able to capture over 300 poses of this deer since then. I never even knew where to start last year. He dissappeared around Nov.5th 2012. He then popped back up on radar in daylight Oct.15th. After doing the slightest adjustments I began capturing ALOT of daylight movement from this deer the past month. I figured out his primary bedding, and at one point and time I came to the assumption he had me patterned. I was within 100 yards of his core area. I took a week and a half off from hunting, but slipped in this AM making a ton of noise, icy, snow, and my stand was cracking around on frozen tree bark. As soon as I got up I figured I was busted being that close. Boy was I surprised. I learned a a hell of a lesson chasing this deer and just how slick they are.

Although Im not a regular poster, I do read anything and everything that could educate me on these animals. I didnt grow up deer hunting, I went soley off trial and error on my own and learning from all you shit heads
. For that, I say THANK YOU ALL.
