I'd whack him MN. Took a half day friday and hunted a friends farm 2 hours away. It is surrounded by housing projects and has a creek that connects it to a golf course and then 1,000s of acres of farm land beyond. A honey hole to be sure. It poured buckets Friday evening, thank heavens for warm when wet synthetics and tree umbrella. I saw three deer chasing in the thicket behind me but couldn't ID them. Saturday morning was cooler (55) and overcast, but dry. Had two deer snort and run in the dark on the way in. Come 7:15 I saw a mostly white skunk, only the legs and underside were black. 7:30 I saw a small 6 come out of the thicket behind me and go into the corner of the field. 5 minutes later a doe comes from the opposite direction and goes into the thicket where the buck came out. For the next hour I saw several bucks moving in the field and some unidentified bodies moving behind me. At 8:30 a small 3 point walked around behind me, downwind, and finally circled right in front of me, 8 yards. He eventually walked off and I think I saw him in the field a short time later.

Here's my view looking towards the field to the east.
