I have two bucks on camera multiple times. One is a giant will post pics when I get to my PC. All pics are night. I have pics from last year as well. Overall I feel these guys are not huntable. Giant just showed. I have off all week. Last day only a nubbie. Would you try and hunt them or move on?

No buck is unhuntable.
This may be the wrong week, and you may nedd more info about its habits.

Zap. Thanks reply. I guess I should have worded question differently. I know land well. And still can't get on one of them yet.its hard to stick and stay and try to make it pay. All eggs in one basket sort of speak. Will try a day org so and then move on. Maybe.

Re: Ghost Bucks What to do?
In my opinion it depends on wether or not they are bedding on your property... If so, you should be able to catch them near there beds in daylight. But if there bedding on the neighbors and only moving on your place at night your out of luck. You could get lucky in the cruise phase and have them come thru in daylight ( especially late morning ) but if these are truly mature bucks they might not participate during daylight. Especially if they live in a pressured area.
Personally, I would try and guess where there bedding and move close. If it don't work move on. If you have not seen these bucks on camera till now, it might be there cruising the property for does at night. You could still get lucky if they find a hot doe and stay on the property with her. Hunting downwind of doe bedding areas when breeding occurs might work.

Thanks for reply Dan. I know the bigger one does not bed here the other one maybe. Have hunted close to where I think one may bed. Seen a six this morning. Power scouted other area clear cut next to cornfield good tracks he might be in there now. Going to move in tonight. Thanks. Trick or Treat!!

Chasman, I am in the same boat as you. Have a couple nice bucks on the cam during the night but they arent on the land I hunt. I am just gonna sit my stands where i know the bucks travel. Pack a lunch and hang out for the day this time of year. Good luck, Hope you get a crack at them.

Re: Ghost Bucks What to do?
Long story short. Here are the pics of the Ghost Bucks. The 9pt has shown up more than the SLOB. I have only seen a buck of this caliber before once. What a buck. Had a grind this week. Hunted long and hard. No visuals of either. Deer in general were not playing, or I did not know their game. Learned alot about what I should have done through summer.
