Cool! It is always awesome to find your first shed antler. If that buck is only a mile away from your cabin, I wouldn't try to draw him any closer. Around a month or so before season I'd scout that spot out with binocs at early morning and dusk to find that bucks feeding pattern. If you figure that out, then set a stand or ground blind on a travel route and try to catch him on it. Keep your human scent to a minimum in the area as much as possible!

I'd also go back to the area you found the shed in and look for the other side. Good luck!

would a tree cam help any ?

oh yeah a cam would help to hang in that area as long as it is not right in his bedding area to push him away, place it right along a trail there or near the rubs and scrapes and maybe get some photos of him at different times to help piece the puzzle together.
