Keep hunting. Sometimes they disappear for long periods of time and pop back up when you least expect it!

Nice buck! I'm sure he's done some damage in the doe population over the last few years. Good luck, hope he shows back up!

Good luck, hope he’s still out there. I’m missing our two biggest since 11/12. Had one in 2012 go missing 11/5, he showed back up January 11th. Next year he did it again, 11/4 -1/18. He made a mistake in the daylight with a lady the next fall, though, got him at 6.5 years old on opening morning.

I bet he’s still out there. Have you seen him live? Chances are nobody has either. I bet he’s gone dark. Glass is half full. Good luck.

He didn't get to be that age by being stupid.
I'm always amazed at the number of 'survivors' I see on my game cams a month or so after the general season has ended.
Spartans ask not...how many, but where!

We had nice buck on camera, got one pic mid October....no other pics until last weekend (both pics at night) and my buddy's daughter killed him a couple mornings later.
Strange how some bucks will disappear during the rut and show back up mid December. I always have a couple nice bucks show up late in the season.

I have not...I was there in the blind not 100 yards from where he's pictured at at 8am on 11/7 and 11/8. He was there at that time the mornings of 11/9-11/11. Could be just a coincidence but then it could by why he's as old as he is. I don't know how old he is, but he's old. His antlers were probably better in years past I bet. Strange thing is I can't say I've seen him on my cameras before. I bet he’s still out there. Have you seen him live? Chances are nobody has either. I bet he’s gone dark. Glass is half full. Good luck.

Maybe your neighbors corn tastes better! Serious don't give up....he may show up or a better one might come alone. In the past week I have seen 3 new bucks show up at my place (two very nice). I also have a nice young 11 that disappeared about a week ago...I was thinking someone else had got him but he showed back up tonight just before dark. My target buck I only see on trail cams at night and he does not come to corn. I am thinking my only chance on getting him is him trailing a hot doe. Anyway, hang in there.

Gossip dies when it hits a wise person’s ears. Rumor and lies are created by haters, spread by fools, and unfortunately believed by the naïve!

A good time to say hello to your new neighbor and ask if they had any luck yet...... they WILL disappear when the rut starts because it’s about what the does routine is until it’s over.......good luck Earl, lot of season left to hunt......

Your first mistake was when you call that deer “mine”
Hope he shows back up
I did build a cabin. Aka the brokeback shack.

He may have just went AWOL They don't get old being stupid and he may just be one of those bucks that you are not going to kill unless he is on a hot doe.
High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

Keep hunting. Sometimes they disappear for long periods of time and pop back up when you least expect it! Yep. The big buck my brother shot on Thanksgiving would leave and not come back until summer. We'd been watching him for a couple of years. Romance got the best of him this year. Keep on hunting.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.
