This year I've been trying to kill a specific buck...I know, I know that I'll probably end up with tag soup. However, it has been a blast.
I filmed this deer on 10/19 as he bedded in front of my stand at about 75 yards for 3 hours. I hunted for 6 days straight for the first week of November (all day sits) and never saw him.
Finally, I get him on a trail camera. Not once, but 3 nights in a row. This deer is totally nocturnal. Hoping he calms down and gives me an opportunity by Christmas.
Anyways, here is a pic...

He's a dandy. And, he'll be tough to get. Good luck.
Nice!
Sweet deer! Doe season until 12/6 and then muzzleloader season. Better hope for some cold and snow to get him moving during the day. Good luck with him.
SWP is right,cold,snow,get between him and food!!
Great looking buck; good luck getting him brother, hope it all comes together for you!!

Oooh yah! He's a healthy looking brute. Good luck on your hunt and hope you bag him! :thumbsup:
Thats a great looking deer, hope you get him.
If you wait a year or two he could have a nice rack. :biglaugh:
Good luck getting him!!!
Wow, nice buck.
Find the nearest food and hunt it!he is nice.
If he is really nocturnal, you had better figure out where his bedding area is, and hunt very close to it(not in it). You have nothing to lose since the rut is over. A lot of times the "nocturnal" bucks will mill around a bit mid day in their security cover, and they will start to head to feed areas later than other deer. So, you need to be closer to his bedding area to bust him during shooting hours. Or wait until next October when he still thinks he is not being hunted.
good luck...I am sure it is fun and frustrating at the same time...
Oh man... :help:
Gorgeous deer, and I don't just mean the rack. Look at the body on that thing. Wow!
Nuc buck, hope you get him. If not, he'll always be bigger next year if someone else doesn't get him first.
Where did you say the location of your hunting spot is again?
Ha! I hunt right on the Kingsley Golf Club!
Looks like he thought he was got already when the flash when off! He's all hunkered like he Oh Crap!
Hope you get him. I was after a certain buck but busted a different one I couldn't pass up during gun.
Good Luck
