Sounds like a good night considering the weather.. Its been raining and super windy here all evening.. Im starting to think alot of bucks move in this crappy weather cause I shot that buck last week in that crappy weather.. They say they dont move as much but Im not so sure about that..
Just keep at it curtis.. You'll get him in the right spot sooner or later.. I have gotten into the stand battle in the past.. It definitly can be frustrating.. Just go with ur gut and dont over think it to much.. Is there any kinda pattern you are noticing with this buck ? That other bigger buck might show back up ..
Sounds like a fun evening none the less

He comes out of the bottom. He came out on opposite sides the last two times, Here is the areal map. the stand along the field edge(white line) is where I saw him tonight. He has came out of the direction of both bedding areas. The field is corn this year. The outlined red is CRP, The green outline is where I can hunt. Also the stand on the field edge is in a valley the trees and the CRP side are both higher elevations

Stick with it Curt, you'll get one of them. Looks like I'm done until November 1st but I'll be getting us some points come November. I'll be shooting the first mature doe that comes out and should be able to get a buck. I'll be checking my cameras the first couple days I'm there and should have some shooters on there...at least I hope! Good luck to everyone that heads out in the next couple days. When this front blow through the midwest it is going to be prime weather!

Hey Curtis,
I took a look at ur property you posted.. You could add a stand between the two bedding areas but I think that would be to hard to get into without spooking deer or getting busted while going in or out. I put 2 red dots on the map.. Can you get a stand in either place ?? It looks pretty thin for trees so im not sure if you could or not.. It looks to me that where I put the red dots is a natural pinch point or funnel from the bedding woods, creek to the corn and to the CRP and it is kinda the middle line of your property I think alot of deer would cross through there back and forth.. You ever put a game cam there ?? Let me know what you think ?

Tonight I'll be sitting down near my treestand but closer to the creek and a little farther north along an old fence. Taking the gifriend with, might have her film for me. We will be going to the alfalfa field stand in the morning and night. Going to tinkle the antlers together tonight if it is slow. On another note, if I spent as much time on school as I do hunting I'd be a straight a student haha. This semester's classes are brutal but at least i always finish the day on a positive note in the treestand. Good luck to everyone going out tonight and tomorrow. I'll try to check in after my hunts. And I'll stay on as long as i have internet on my phone
