Good luck. I've had bucks break my heart all season before so I know what you're going through. They would tempt me by chasing does within 50' of the house but when I was in the stand they wouldn't come within 50 yards.

Im going to inject some probably much unwanted advise. I know its tough to do, but if you can, get away from that field. They will run you crazy, trying to figure where to catch up to them on it. Center your hunt instead around the bed. Get as close as you dare so as not to spook them, and in the direction they travel from the bed. Just my 2 cents, take it or leave it bro.

I did the unthinkable and paid the price today. due to a prior promise I took 2 good friends North on the mountain for muzzleloader hunting. when I got home I checked the trail camera by my tree stand near my house where I have been hunting and seeing all the bucks. from 8am until after nine THIS MORNING I had 120 pics of 2 brutes..... more to follow. my vow from here on out is to hunt every weekend by my house until I put an arrow through 1 of the 4 bucks I have watched.

meet "splitter" 10 point with split brow tines, this is actually the first time I have saw him I believe unless he was 1 of the 4 I watched at 100 yards Saturday morning.

that would have been a 5 yard quartering away shot from my stand on either one of these bucks...

You have to be "in" the stand.......If those guys can't black powder hunt by them selves by now they should take up golf.   :biglaugh:
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Idk what your schedule is like.  It if you are somewhat flexible. When you see a string of days 4-5 or more of the normal average temps then boom the bottom falls out. A temp drop of 10 deg or more. Be on stand.

Never mind, read through post. Lol hunt when ya can. Keep this in mind for vac day.
