[QUOTE="backyardtndeer, post: 5789756, member: 16465"] This year was a good example for me. Knew a mature buck was around, it all worked out to be a matter of putting myself in the right stand at the right time, and I killed the deer about 5 minutes after getting in the stand on November 1st. My cell cam had him where I wasn't for my first few sits of the season. Ironically, the day before I killed the deer he was on the scrapeline at my camera in the middle of the day, 1:45 pm, while I was sitting in line to pick my son up from school. [ATTACH type="full"]207276[/ATTACH] I was hoping to catch up with him, and did that next afternoon about 4:20, that was before falling back for dst. What I didn't expect was for him to be walking across my little field at that time of the day. That stand was the same stand my wife killed her deer from a couple weeks later, and I have seen and passed on a couple of 3.5+ bucks from the same stand since those two were killed. Other than bumping deer off the acorns under that tree, it's a pretty easy access stand at the top of a gully looking down the other side of a rolling hill field. At the opposite end of that field I get a scrapeline going with active scrape and a dripper just before I expect for their scraping activity to take off. That had my target buck working scrapes on that line during daylight leading up to the opener for us in cwd zone. Some say mature bucks won't work scrapes during daylight, I have plenty of pics and time in the field watching to say otherwise. [/QUOTE]
