I would have NEVER hunted that close to a mature buck with a gun. 100 yards is a MINIMUM. Good Luck

I disagree. If one is stand hunting, just the act of being there.......especially me.....
I am a smelly bastid with filthy habits...
If one gets too close to a core area....
Adios.
How ever with the consistent night footage in this case...
There is hope!
Best of luck and Merry Christmas!

The biggest deer I've ever seen in my area (and passed on the year before because it was in my neighbor's field) was killed by someone else, 30 yards in front of where I'd been sitting, 10 minutes after I got up and left. In a torrential downpour. "This is crazy, no deer is going to be walking around in this, they'll be bedded down under a hemlock somewhere." Uh.. yup.

I think with out the pressure of cold weather
Good bucks become good bucks by being nocturnal
So it is very hard to see them move in daytime.

Fantastic, we were all pulling for you. Same stand? What time did you get him? We need details. Darn few of us would have that kind of determination.

This isn't the droptine buck he was actually the buck I left that stand for on opening day
different property.
Unfortunately I didn't have a preferred food source on the 15 acre I have permission to hunt
The property I killed this buck had a cut bean field that the deer were hitting like mad so made the choice to hunt him when the frigid cold and snow came in this past week

You shot one of Santa's reindeer in your front yard?! Nice buck regardless!  Next Christmas you can wait for 'ol Droptine to wander past the front porch...........
