Possible to re-locate your stand(s) at all? Some of the big guys might be wise to your location and avoiding them?

Throughout the season I'm constantly moving one stand or another, some not very far but just far enough and other times I'm totally tree hoping.

I always keep one stand available/free to move as needed.


Two years ago I saw the buck I was after the first night I was on stand as I was walking out, next evening I went in about an hour earlier than normal. Placed a stand that evening in about 10-15 minutes and an hour later had my buck.

That wasn't working on the one I just took, I knew where the does were and where the other bucks were. My guy was staying clear of all them and the other hunters in the area.

You have any cams up?

Get out there with a clear head, and find him. Maybe get a tracking dog to help. He's there, and likely dead or close to dead. Start making sweeping circles from the place you last saw him.

A bit warm (60) this morning for me. No sightings until 9:05am when a fawn mooched along, out of range. <grin>

Hope others have done better today.
