[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5671285, member: 20583"] That's a bummer. Hopefully it turns around for you. Summer bucks can be weird. Either you have them or you don't, and when you do have them be thankful because they can disappear without a trace. My mineral site is set up on a slightly sloping bank above a big creek, about 100yds from the water. The band of woods along the creek is fairly thick but only a couple hundred yards each side of the water. Beyond that is ag fields. It's about this time of year every year that the bigger bucks I've been seeing regular all spring & summer vanish into thin air. Like a flip of a switch they're just gone. The only pattern to it that I've noticed is it's when their beams reach full width and tines begin protruding. I suspect they simply move off to less thick woods because of antler sensitivity. Or possibly it could be they're bedding in corn as this is also when corn reaches a height that it can shade them from the hot sun. That's just guesses though. Regardless of reason, it happens every summer. Not sure if that's anything at all what you're experiencing but maybe it is, and if so they'll be back to visit when they shed velvet. [/QUOTE]
