It is going to be a good fall!
Another perspective on the "hitlist" thing (even though I hate that word). Since running trail cams more, I have started to try to target certain bucks and "try" to pass others in an attempt to kill bigger bucks. It's been a journey so far for me with some missteps along the way.
However, one thing I have noticed and been amazed by, how certain mature bucks can show up recurringly on cams but never be seen on the hoof. I have one target buck for which I now have a shed from 2011 and a matched set from 2012, I don't know how many cam images of but I have never and I mean never seen than buck on the hoof. It has raised my respect level for the really mature bucks even more that before.
Very common theme for us in MN. We see a few good ones on cams that are strictly nocturnal and must bed on neighboring farms. The bucks we see on cams during daylight, we seem to end up shooting!
