I will probably post this in the campfire section as well but I thought I'd get yall's advice first.
I've got 5 (3 are at or above 140 to 160 ) bucks in a bachelor group that are hitting my feeder about an hour after dark and then staying bedded down somewhere within a 20 acre piece of property until they return to the feeder at about 5 am and have been staying until almost 7 am. Their stays seem to get longer each day. So I think I can get a daytime shot in the am on them.
The biggest problem I have is... I have 22 acres of wide open hay field surround by a couple hundred acres of cross fenced hay fields. I have no idea why the bucks are hanging out on my place or how I will get set up on them inside of 20 yds with zero cover. The only thing I have working for me is a large patch of cockleburrs that I can put my pop up in, which will be great until they turn brown and become noisy as all get out to walk through.
I am really wanting to get my daughter or wife on one of these bucks, but that makes it even harder trying to sneak 2 people into the blind.
Did I mention that 4 of the bucks appear to be at least 5 yrs old and a couple are probably 7 or 8 and they are bear a public hunting area so I'm sure they have seen most of the tricks.
I'll strongly consider any and all advice I can get.
