Default Your ideas on what to do..

I have got this deer at the same spot for the last 5 out of 7 days, (2 at night and 3 in the daylight) my season opens on monday. Should I take off work and go after him in the timber or wait until the next weekend and hunt the fields? The bad part is I'll lose 350 bucks in overtime.I think I should get in there before he starts moving around marking his turf. what would you do?

I'd get after him if you have him patterend that well. Never know what might change in a week. You can make 350 another time, I'd rather be dropping 600 to have him hanging on my wall, JMHO.

I'd trade that 350 bucks for that 1 buck!

$350 sounds pretty good, you might pay upwards of $2,000 somewhere else and would have to book about a year in advance. Good luck I hope we can see a pitcure with you holding the rack.

Depends on your situation,if it means the rent or food, then go to work and chance him later. But be all means if it means just another 350 in the bank, go nail him. Hunting season means sacrafices.

Very nice...Just tell me were he is and you can go to work and not worry about losing the 350.00...I will even let you have a pic with him ......
you never know that might be the biggest one you ever have a chance at...not unless you've bagged a bigger one...But really just give me the GPS location and I will take care of it for you......

He's a dandy buck and with that type of patterning, I'd hunt him as soon as possible. No telling where else he frequents and who else might mess him up before you have a chance to hunt him again. I hope to see him in another kind of picture.
