Okay so last week I posted a pic of a couple really nice bucks in the 150's range. I finally went out hunting them this week and had a few encounters with 2 bucks in the 130's range. First off, this confused me because these trees that these deer are in only covers maybe 20 acres. I also know of another buck in the 120 range. So anyways, the picture was at 1:30 in the morning and I'm now wondering if maybe these two big boys were just passing through. The area is definately a rub cluster. I mean, probably 20 rubs in a 25 yard area. And a lot of them the size of my leg. So I'm not sure how to get a crack at these guys. So far I haven't seen one bit of them...and I'm wondering if it's a waste of time planning on shooting one of them because there are 3 other somewhat mature bucks. I always thought that bigger deer like this would not allow 3 other midsize bucks be in their same core area. Any help or advice to help me get one of these big boys would be great. Thanks, I'll post the pics again to let everyone know what I'm after here.

Honestly if it were me I'd take every vacation day I had left and sit out there from dark to dark until I got him. Do it now before the chasing phase of the rut starts. Once that happens, they could leave your property and you might never see them again.

The only thing that would prevent me from being in that stand is if the wind direction was wrong.

Get there early, pack a lunch and some water, and sit ALL DAY. I wouldn't get down for anything. That's what I'd to. How bad do you want it?
