I think that gettin "Buck fever" so you can stay home is something we have all done. So if the grades are where they should be then get him. But if he is in an area where there are not too many other "deer" hunters he'll probably wait for you. You might consider setting up on him differently if possible. It sounds like you using that same stand most of the time. It's probably fine, especially if the deer are staying well away from the stand. If they are coming close by it your telltale scent traces could eventually cause him to become more secretive or nocturnal. He could be moving most of the day (especially in thicker cover) so take your lunch and stay out there hunting all day if your schedule allows. You'll run into him again. For god's sake shoot him this time--ha ha
