So I've been consistently seeing more deer in general this year and some bucks! None of them have been older than 1.5 years... I've got some good ones on camera but it's always just before light or just after or middle of the night when they show themselves. Is there any chance that if I keep sitting these spots with small bucks a decent one could come through or do I need to switch it up and stop wasting my time in these areas? Today was our opener for gun season so I feel like my odds are decreasing as time goes on.. Or Atleast it's going to be more challenging. What are your thoughts? I'd be happy with a decent 2.5 yr old or better I pass on the young ones in hopes they survive and grow.

You need to move to where the big ones are during light.

Move around. If you have pics of a buck just after dark or just before sunrise you aren't too far from bedding. I definitely would not keep sitting the same spots, especially with gun season opening. Cyber scout and make your best guess at where they're bedding and give it a try.
I would also move your cameras around to help try and pin point them. If your pics start getting closer to first and last light, use that intel to pin them down even more.
Just don't ruin suspected bedding by running your cams too close. If you want one really close to bedding, hunt it then place your camera before you leave.
