[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5702633, member: 20583"] No sir it is most definitely not. A mature buck is as slippery and elusive in the summer as he is in the fall. Summer patterns doesn't mean he's stupid for few months. He's on a pattern until he's not, and that pattern can easily be broken by the seemingly most insignificant hint of human presence. I was directly downwind of buck I wanted to hunt this weekend and it didn't matter. He never busted me but he never came in either. Friday evening the youngest buck of the group reluctantly stepped into my kill zone while all the older bucks stayed in deep cover, and as soon as he detected something wasn't right he turned back and took all the older ones with him. I didn't see them at all Saturday. Then Sunday evening they all came in again but this time they paralleled my stand about three times back & forth until a doe came out. They stopped to intently watch her walk through my shot zone but even though she acted completely calm they still wouldn't come through. Somehow the older bucks knew something was off in the area of my stand and a spot they normally travel right through, they avoided. [/QUOTE]
