To follow up from Monday's comment: Slob of a buck in a TINY grove during "the lull" in daylight hours.
The only reason I received permission for this grove is because it looked like nothing. Mind you, this is one of the best areas I know of. I knew if there was corn around it, deer would swing thru.
Video was taken Oct 16th, 2010. I'm pretty confident he spent a lot of time in a big grove East of here which doesn't get bowhunted.
I had midnight pictures of this buck here and there, then all of the sudden here was my missed opportunity
I had a family function I had to attend the night he walked in front of my cam (and stand). I came to the realization that "Even if I could have hunted, I can't hunt that stand with a NW wind. No reason to feel bad about it."
Chances are he was bedded yards from my stand and trail camera then stood up to stage at gray light.
