    Nope. Both bucks I saw had no clue I was there.

    The doe picked me off but I can move and fix that.

    There must be a doe there that's close.

    Do you normally leave fish to find fish?

    With all of the options you have, I'd let it cool down and give it another try in a couple days.

    See this here is where it gets tricky. I don't think I agree with this for where he is hunting and I can say I've hunted same spots over and over and killed good ones because they were there then. Careful with your access and attack

    My thought is you hunt big bucks where they are when they are there if you want to kill them!

    Wait 48 hrs and you may not see them there again cause they move on to the next doe group.

    Or, if you spend too much time there he could get wise to you. It's a slippery slope.

    With that much area to hunt, I would go back and hunt it again. There's a good buck there and maybe a doe that will bring him and others around. There was a doe behind my friend's house that came into heat early. 4 different bucks got shot by her!!!

    Also the doe I killed today was stinking, smells like she was about to pop! I think the party is gonna start earlier this year, acorns dropping faster, crops out sooner. Weird year !

    With that much to hunt I would have to guess there will multiple shooters. If you get aggressive with him and accidentally push him off he’s most likely going to be on the same property. My experience has told me that you can’t be afraid to be aggressive, more aggressive I am the more opportunities. Come November you hunt does to find the bucks and any swinging dic* will coming and going

    So got back at 1:30 and farmer still was on the first section of corn. I had decided to empty the tank on big back pack blower. 1 mile later I had cleaned past 5 enclosed blinds, 3 brush blinds and 10 stands. One big clear loop around the top.
    This said , I'm old and now exhausted. I live on a hill with gullies and ridges it was a tough hike carrying that big Sthil.
    TEll ME Your thoughts...
    I made a racket the farmers making a commotion and he's no where finished as of 1:30. Do I just hit this mornings spot which I haven't hunted afternoons, try coop blind or ladder stand there, again with this good wind or risk going out to the climber where farmer could work right to dark.
    Lastly, rest tonight hunt the climber in the morning
