Can you hunt this buck
Ok this is not a hypothetical question but need some input. Well If you are driving along the road in the evening (after dark) and on the side of the road you spot a nice buck and kind of have that particular spot noted. Do you think that deer will be gone or can you really have a good shot at him? Reason because the rut is just about here and know how they travel. Only reason I am going after or want to is that he IS the biggest deer I have ever seen alive in the wild. I know I would most likely not get him but if I was able to Then he would be very close to a booner[
]. I didnl' t know they got that big here in NJ but It shocked the heck out of me.
Well do any of you guys ever try something like this or not?

Sure you and I can double team him. OK he is not far from where I live. How is that?

It' s a toss up. If he crosses there regularly, you can bet you' ll have a decent chance at him.
If he was just chasing does, he may not come that way again, but you never know..........go for it!

RE: Can you hunt this buck
I tend to agree with the other responses that it really is a hit or miss kind of scenario. I would do some scouting around where you saw him to look for sign that would match up that particular buck. If you find plenty of it then give me a call and I will do a little recon-hunting for you so that you do not waste your time....
