[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5532647, member: 20583"] I think those tend to be the drifters. I see it happen while hunting and on cam at least once per season. Bucks will move through the property once on a straight line, maybe stepping past a cam & maybe not. Then they're gone forever. I saw one in person this season like that and he never was on cam nor had I ever seen him before or after. Who knows where they come from, where they're going, or how far they travel? It's an enigma. On the flip, I have bucks that are regulars but in varying intervals and timelines. Summer bucks aren't necessarily fall bucks and they're not necessarily winter bucks, but they show up often enough within their respective timeframes that I recognize and expect it. And at least one or two bucks at any given time seem to be permanent party residents. They're around any time of year. But all of them disappear for days or weeks at a time so I can only assume they are somebody else's enigma bucks. The bucks I like to hunt are the homebodies. I get familiar enough with them to know their tendencies and for lack of better word they are "easier" to kill. There was a time I'd get excited about seeing a giant on cam, and I'd start making all kinds of plans on how I'd kill him. Mind you it might only be one pic at 3:30am and never again. Looking back I can see how ridiculously naive I was. Never once have I killed one of those bucks. These days I only get excited when I see a buck every part of the year and on every camera on the property every time of day because I know that means my property is his home, and when/if he reaches maturity I have a reasonable chance at killing him. I usually have one like that to hunt every year or every other year. He may not always be giant like the mysterious random drifters, but often enough for me he is. [/QUOTE]
