Visitor,A problem for alot of us hunters.It is hard to answer your question
with out knowing a few things.Are you approaching from the same direction all the time?Is the wind in your favor?It seems he knows you are there either by sight, noise, or sense of smell.If the buck is hanging in the same area I would try to circle way around him instead of the straight on approach,if the wind is in your favor.Also another way would be if you spot him again just watch were he seems to want to go.You can then set up on him another time trying to ambush him.Again watch the wind direction.

Try going about your stalk from a different direction, and PAY CLOSE attention to the wind. Sometimes you can get by with a little movement, but if he smells you, it is all over! Also, a decent buck rarely enters a food plot from the same path every day. Try setting up 100 yards off or so if possible in circumfrence around the food plot on trails that are extremely faint and hard to notice. These trails will run cross ways to main trails. This way he can scent check several does without actually seeing them. GOOD LUCK!
