Saturday morning I was out in my tree stand when a monster buck, with a huge rack and a nice brown toupe, following a doe came in to my area. This was approximately 7:45. He hung around for 15 minutes trailing the doe, scraping and rubbing. He was only 20 yards out but in deep cover. As he was walking into my shooting lane the doe, who was upwind and up the hill, spooked and ran back the way she came. The busk casually turned around and trotted after the doe. He was only 5 feet from a 20 yard shot!!!
I went out again Sun morning but saw no bucks at all and no sign of the monster. I came down at 8:30 because my buddy had to be somewhere. The guy who owns the property went through the area at 9:30 and said the buck was milling around where I was hunting. The owner came through again at 3:00 on a 4-wheeler and spooked the buck off at 3 PM! (This guy doesn't deer hunt).
Now, I decided not to hunt today to let the woods settle. Should I hit the area again tomorrow morning? Do you think the buck hits the area at the same time each day (if he's not on a hot doe)? I can only take off work and hunt in the morning until Saturday. How should I approach this monster?
Thanks for any advice you can give.
P.S. I'm the only one hunting these woods except for Tineseeker, but he's not going to go out there without me!
