Had a great sit this evening, saw 2 different dandy bucks but 200yrds was the closest look I would get. The first was at 4:45 and he was checking a momma and her young one, and its the first Ive seen him. The other was with 2 mommas and their youngins, just about 20 yrds behind them, this was the 2nd time Ive seen him.
Beautiful buck, heres to him coming in for an opportunity!:smiley_cheers::smiley_cheers::smiley_bagonhead::smiley_cheers:

Nice Aaron!
I saw a nice up and comer with a dink right behind him.
Blew out at least 2 does on my way in. Sloppy sloppy

Im as close as I can get, property lines shut me down where I'm at. I got the other bucks attention but he just wouldn't commit, maybe one of these days.
Wanna borrow my deke? Its a sorry mess of a fake deer, but it resembles a whitetailed buck deer when fully assembled and propped up correctly! lmao
I might consider this. Wait this don't have the same damage as the blow up doll you have does it?rotflmao

Just in time for gun season! There is nothing as "freeing" as the feeling of taking a fully loaded semi-auto into a bedding area to have a look around. Waiting for months for a deer to come to you gets a little trying... walk up on 'em and shoot 'em! Sorta makes you realize what a waste of time hunting with a bow can really be.

Had a shooter on trail camera Nov 20,21,24 between 5-630am. I know which direction he is coming from in the mornings. I have an idea where he is bedding. I also know I saw this buck chasing. Watched him come out of a fence row which I will be set up in tomorrow morning. I feel I have been right in his wheel house for a couple weeks. He is NOT all busted up. I think I have been too aggressive with rattling, and trying to call bucks in the last couple weeks. IF. . . .my theory is right, I feel I can close the gap a little more and "maybe" get lucky. Tomorrow I plan on sliding into the stand around 530am and beat him from where he has been coming in. Moon is overhead at 658am. Seems the last 5 days he has been showing up later and later. IF this is due to the changing times of the moon being overhead, then he should be coming thru around 6-630am on trail camera and roughly 630-7am to his bedding area (close to the stand I will be hunting). Wind will be in my favor for this stand. Just need to get in early. If I cannot get in early enough, I have another stand which is closer I can slide into with zero noise. It will be for observing and implementing this plan Wednesday.
This IS deer hunting. I could be 100% wrong. I am not "calling my shot". Just putting pieces of the puzzle together. Nothing more. Put the pieces together and hope for a little luck and the right shot.

Dang Phil, it sounds like the pieces of the puzzle are putting you in a very good opportunity to finish soon. Good luck man, I hope your homework pays its dividends.
Just got home from work after working the last 3 days. I learned we're suppose to get 5 " starting sometime tomorrow. I dunno whether to make an attempt to get out first thing, as tired as I'd be or just go out later & put up a support pole in the pop up. My blind last year got demolished because the snow beat me before I put a pole up.
