Morning Update: came in at 5:05 and had 15-20 Cattle bedded down at the feeder. Feeder went off at 6:35 and had a nice shooter 8 come in but big boy did not. Checked cameras after and he was last seen Tuesday. In the blind for evening hunt now. He did not show and had a total of 5 Deer come in because of cattle. Cattle are up north and not here now.

High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

HAVE HAD NO SERVICE!!!!
Yesterday afternoon update: Driving in at 2:30 to get set up early, seen big boy chasing a doe 1/2 mile from my spot. Figured we still had a small chance of seeing him. He did not come in. Had my nephew with me who has never shot a Deer and since he just turned 8, I put him on an old small rack 8 that is running around. That made my whole trip. Pictures and video coming.
This morning update: Got in at 4:55am and waited patiently. 9 came in and started pushing everything out. Big 8 came in and they locked up a few times. Ultimately the 9 pushed him out and became the dominant for time being. My buddy spotted the big boy roughly 2,000 yards from us on neighbors property pushing a doe/same doe up into the canyon. He is just not going to come in anytime soon. I have been in his shoes before so I know the deal. I was about to shoot this 9 and call it good until he walked off and into the thick stuff. Shortly later the big 8 came in and that 9 came in thick in the neck and they locked up again. I made the decision right then it was over and I decided to take him. Not the biggest but the meanest. I should have let him stay but it is what it is. I’m good with it. Pics and video to come.

Congrats to both you and your nephew!
So, are you done hunting for the big boy this year then?
Man, that is a great deer you killed but I guess I'm a stubborn mule-head cuz if I had a pic of a deer like that big fella and knew he was still around I wouldn't have fresh deer meat yet. lol

I am done chasing the big boy. My best friend growing up is after him now. That is a 1 Buck County and I am 6.5 hours away from there. Going back and forth is hard right now with work and little ones at home. I am not done hunting, just done in that county. Still messing with the closer place that has not provided anything of opportunity this year so far.

Updated Photos since I left. He did not show while I was there but he came in the morning after I left. The day before he was seen chasing a Doe way off from where he is coming back into.

That is a great looking buck. They seem to be rutting a little early in many areas. I had one the was a regular at feeders every day till November 4. That was the last I had seen him till yesterday afternoon a 1pm he showed up at a feeder. They have been chasing does now for over a week and he had moved or was pushed out of his core area. Good luck to you and your buddy
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

If I knew my season wasn't over I couldn't pull the trigger knowing a 180" plus Is walking around my place.

If I knew my season wasn't over I couldn't pull the trigger knowing a 180" plus Is walking around my place. I agree 100%. But my season either ended with what I got or the chance of me not getting back up North at all. So as I closed on the Buck I took on that place, it drives my focus at home, with a new job (recently retired), and my new place that is not producing anything as far as shooters go but is 4.5 hours closer to home. It was not the decision I wanted to make AT ALL… But more the decision I needed to make for my family and new job.

If we had one showed up on camera like that I'd suffer from insomnia. I have a hard enough time sleeping before hunting our little bucks where we hunt.
