I learned most of the deer show up when I'm not in my stand!

I thought seeing pics of the big boys would help me stop shooting the 1 and half olds.  But it hasn't, generally I'm just happy if a deer will walk under my stand and give me a clean 15 yard shot.

I like pulling and checking my cards almost as much as hunting.  I rarely hunt and area without putting a few cameras out first.  I mostly hunt small urban areas where the bucks roam a lot.  If the buck I am looking for is not frequenting an area I hunt somewhere else.  The last four years I have killed bucks I first had pictures of.
