all my best bucks were not seen prior to their demise on either camera or in the flesh. You never know what's going to show up once the rut really kicks in. Here's hoping he sticks around for you Dan.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Just catching up on this thread. More fortunate than the dead buck narrowly clearing the train, he escaped Bubba. A buck within easy sight of the highway wouldn't make it through sunrise down south

Well it was my typical opener Had good deer movement early 2 small buck,2 doe and 2 fawns and then at 8:30 am the neighbor blew up the pines not more than 100 yds from me I sat put till 10:30 am and then decided to go to the lease Nub had already passed by my stand earlier while getting to my lease my camera goes of back where I just left I get a picture of this buck 20 yds from the stand I just left I had some coffee with my cousin he had Nub cross the road and pass by him but as he did with his bow he gave him a pass I eventually decided to go back to the property I started at as that buck that showed up wasn't either of the 2 or 3 target buck 45 minutes after arriving and getting in my stand I get another picture of Nub going by my stand again Eventually poor Nub wandered of my lease and to the property behind it and he didn't get the same courtesy that he'd been extended earlier I saw no deer the remainder of the day Yesterday I hunted till 11am saw 2 small buck and that's it Deer are locked down pretty good I'll monitor and hunt accordingly

All day sits this time of the year.
Have said it recently in thread on here, 5 of my last 6 bucks have came between 10:30 & 2:30.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Just got some bad news yesterday, the property I just killed that buck on has been sold and is closing on Dec 2nd Appears that was my last hunt ever on the property I've been hunting that property since 2009. I would have purchased it but it was way over priced for what the actual value or resale would have been(it's been for sale for 4 years) So that's 2 properties I've lost this past season, I'm down to my lease and the property near my lease I killed Hoss on. We shall see what else I can find during this coming year I'm disappointed but figured it was going to happen sooner or later. I feel blessed I had 11 and 12 great years of hunting on those properties

Sorry to hear that. I’ve been there myself. I learned to bow hunt on a neighbors property. I was a pretty slow learner and about the time I started to connect some of the dots, a family member purchased the land, fenced every inch of timber and ran several hundred goats through it and destroyed it for whitetail hunting. I’m in a better situation now. I just have to look back and be grateful for the time I had there.
