Monster Buck...How do I get him??
On the piece of land I am hunting, there is an absolute monster of a buck, at least 12 points and a huge spread. I've seen him a few times, and so has my buddy that I hunt with, but never gotten a shot. My biggest concern is that either my buddy will get him or the buck will wander off my property and on to the adjacent property, and get shot there. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can increase my chances of seeing him first or how to keep him on my property?Thanks

Like Tribal said. Plus if your hunting buddy is your friend you shouldn't worry if he get's it or not. I always hope my hunting buddy does well. It's part of being a good sport.

Don't get me wrong, motown, its not that i don't want my buddy to get him, its that i'm not sure if he could kill him if he got the shot 
....and in reply to tribal...yeah i know where he lays EVERY morning. The problem is, it is a very small patch of woods, and walking in spooks him up every time.
any thoughts?

Have you sat back and scoped him to see what trails he uses to enter and exit his bedding? Make note of wind direction, approximate time, etc. Use this info to your advantage. Hopefully you can get him returning from feeding or when he gets up around sunset. But do your homework.

the thing is, he won't leave the woods, i don't know if he doesn't feel pressured, or what but he'll just zig zag the opposite way you do, i've never seen him leave the woods, just go into a cornfield, which as you know is basically impossible to do anything at that point
