help me...dont get it....

Overhunting the area and if it is just a small patch of woods, they may only be using it at night.  Need to rotate stands and locations.  I try to not hunt the same stand more than one or two sits a week.   If you don't have multiple locations then you just got to do what you have to do but you can overhunt an area. 
 
I'd be focusing on the does right now and funnels b/w bedding areas and feeding areas.  The bucks will be roaming checking on every doe they can until they find that special one.

I was shown some trail camera photos of 5 GREAT bucks all using the same licking branch and huge scrape.... different days and different bucks..

one thing in common they were all using the area between 3:30am and 4:30am... the owner of the camera has hunted there MANY days already and not seen a thing.... in looking at the pictures and BSing about them I noticed one thing .. in the photos that you can see the bucks leaving they are headed in one direction.... posted leased property

He said he has decided to move on to another area to hunt until rifle season....

This is one dis-advantage to trail cameras IMHO, they lead one to believe the deer they see on camera are available for them to hunt in that area.. which may not be true.. as in the example above.. the time of the photo is the key to understanding the deer in an area...

In the topic starter thread.. I'd say that is the case there.. it is being used for a short period of time during the night..

all makes sence guys...gonna give it a break for a few...may even hunt there with the bow in rifle season..(houses too close for shotgun) anyway im going to post a aerial of the area i hunt...my 2 stand locations will be red dots if this works...

I'm going to say this jokingly but since it always gets brought up on the fishing boards major spot burn (the gps coordinates are at the bottom of the picture). Back to the seriousness I love how clear the pictures are from Google Earth. Good Luck and shoot straight

those deer could be alot of places...for example the south east corner, and across all three roads. im not an expert but judging from knowledge passed down and read about, if u wanna know where he lives, find his core. That can be very tricky though. that area there might not be where they live. if anything, they might be hanging closer to houses. i know deer can sit all day by a house. or be and go everywhere in a second. just all depends, not saying in the rut they wont be in there one morning chasing a doe..all bets are kinda off during this period.

I'm going to disagree with Rick on this one. That buck is running 1 inch to the right of your left dot. I would almost bet my trigger finger that you walk that check out that seam and you will find a scrape line (likely one that occurs every year). I think your challenge is finding out where he hangs at night and then come in from the other side of the property in the morning. In the evening, sit back about 80 yards off that field. Good luck, Griff
