Yesterday evening I watched a monster 11 point with a kicker come out of a ravine and walk a tree line about 100 yards from my oak tree. I have never seen this deer on camera or while hunting till yesterday. The feeder went off while he was milling around and he didn't even look up. Will he travel that same area? Should I try and setup near the trail or leave the area alone?

He's apparently too smart to eat at a feeder, I'd throw out some hand corn where he traveled and put a camera on it. Be sure to hand corn in a perfect spot to hunt from, and your scent trail will be away from him. If there is thick brush, you might be able to make a natural ground blind, or set up a tripod or lock-on stand. DO NOT hunt the spot is the wind is not right. Good luck.
