Been checking cameras for weeks, things look a bit better than last year, have a couple 4xs on the hit list that's more than I can say for last year. Only time will tell so get out there and be safe and good luck. I took this buck in 2010 after hunting him 41 days straight after seeing this pic.

I sat in that stand everyday from that day till October 12th when a hot doe brought him in with several friends , he was king, it was raining by the way. I have the entire hunt on video it shows how really smart the big ones are and how patients prevails. One of my finest hunting memory's.

I have seen the video Vince is talking about, several deer come in with a few other bucks, this dude hung back, all the other deer came right in but not him, he stayed alert and well hidden for the longest time.
I think the only reason he eventually came in, was all of the other deer whir feeding and drinking and he eventually let his guard down because of the does, Vince smoked him as he came in.
An OUTSTANDING Pacific Hybrid.

That's a great point about patience. Having seen one deer, I always try to find the others. But the bucks trailing a group of does sometimes hang way back, well hidden. I've had occasions when I was sure a buck was lurking and I just couldn't get a visual. Love the rut: it's been the undoing of many a cagey old buck.
