Great thread to read. Always fun and challenging going after a new target.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

I went after him opening day. There was a lot of sign that he had been there heavy about a week earlier. Acorns ran out and he was not around. Singing bridge came out and hunted him once too, his hunt was infringed by someone coming out and messing with him while he hunted... Apparently, we have some competition.

What do you mean by "messing with him" ?

A couple of hours before dark a guy showed up and stomped all around my hunting area... looking up into the tree's and trying to find me! :lol: He had no camo, no bow... He finally gave up and waltzed back out of there. I still had an hour of shooting time left, so I stayed the course... although I was a little worried about my truck back where I parked it... :? Fortunately I had no issues.

...and what would he have thought he would have done if he found you? :think: Glad your truck wasn't messed with. Have you two been back out there?
