[QUOTE="Hevishot 13, post: 5815988, member: 20064"] Yes, this happened Friday for me. I knew the particular deer I was hunting (a 120ish" 5 year old massive bodied 8 pointer) would use this area in daylight because I got a picture of him on 1/01/24 at 3:45 PM in this spot. I went in the next day with my climber to hunt him. Never saw a deer but I left my climber. On 1/05/24 I got a pic of two does at 9:44 AM, followed by this buck at 9:45. I had a great wind to hunt the spot, but, it's basically a privet thicket in the shape of a T with open sapling timber on one side and open hardwood timber on the other. Kind of tricky getting into without being seen if the deer are close by in the thickets. It took 2.5 hours to go 3/4 of a mile. I slipped in a few steps at a time with the wind because I knew he was in these thickets somewhere. I guessed within 100 yards of my climber. Once I got to my climber, I actually had a train come down the tracks that borders these thickets to one side, so I used that back ground noise to climb the tree. I got set up at 1:30 PM. At 3:30 I had two does bust out of the thicket with the buck right behind them wide open, grunting with every step. They made a large loop around me through the thick stuff, then went directly behind my tree at 20 yards. The buck stopped to look at them, and that's all she wrote. Without that cell pic, I wouldn’t have had a clue he was in the area, and wouldn’t have hunted it. I basically was on standby waiting for that pic. I knew that once he was in there, I could slip in and kill him. A five year old in this part of alabama is a trophy regardless of the bone on his head. My loose rule is 140" or 5, so I don't kill many deer. I never weighed this buck, but my guess was 215-230 ish. He was a tank. [/QUOTE]
