    First age and score for me in years!!

    Been busy building a house and working, I have only hunted a few times in the last couple years. Long story short this buck shows up Friday morning while wife was getting ready for work. Bought some cameras Saturday and put them out on feeder that’s 100 yards west of our house in our front yard. Last night at 6:45 he shows up and stays for 20 minutes. I don’t want to hunt right on feeder (wife said I can’t) so I want to hunt farther north from where I’m assuming he’s coming, up an old logging road parallel to our west property line. Any ideas on where to hang my climber? Yellow circle is feeder, house on top to right is MIL, and house below that is ours. Green line marks old logging road, and red is property line. Here’s pics of him too. Came back at 2 am this morning. My best guess on age and score is 3 1/2, and 115”. What say the green screen?

          Very unlikely that deer is a 3yo.

          Set up on that feeder and just hide your tree stand from the boss.

            Gonna be hard to do since this feeder is 100 yards visible from my front door lol. I’ll see what I can do. Got a climber. May need to relocate a lock on.

              He came back last night for 30 mins. Never saw him on the hoof yesteday. He’s been visible during day on Tuesday last week, Friday both mornings, and then Sunday evening. Put up the camera Saturday night, so that’s all the info I have

                I say this with all due respect.

                Tell your wife to let you worry about the hunting and gathering.

                  Agree.

                  And there's just some places a man has to take a stand.

                    UPDATE:

                    This buck has gone full nocturnal I believe. Here is a timeline of when he’s showed up to this feeder at my house:

                    Visible sightings: last Tuesday morning, Friday morning, Sunday evening 6:45 pm (camera was out for this one).

                    Monday morning 2 am
                    Tuesday morning 12:20 am
                    Wednesday morning 6 am
                    Thursday morning 2:30 am

                    Looks to be coming from either east of here last couple of days, from the north at the live sighting Sunday. I know it’s been stupid hot. I hunted 90 yards off the feeder north on a trail Monday and Tuesday evening, and hunted way back in the back on my place last night. Thinking I may need to back out until maybe Saturday once it cools off. Any advice?

                      Here’s a pic for reference for stands.

                      Blue x is the feeder, x just north of there is where I hunted Monday and Tuesday. Last night hunted up in the boot top left corner of pic. Haven’t hunted hard in years, so I don’t think I’ve stunk up the place yet, and I’m trying to be mindful of wind.

                            He is older than 3 for sure. I will bet he is over 120" too.

                              Any help on when I can catch him on his feet in daylight?
