So I have a really good buck on cam right now that I tried to kill last year also. He's coming to a feeder and when he shows up it's almost always around 10am. The problem is that he will show up and eat for an hour or more one day and then be totally awol for anywhere from 4-7 days before he comes back through. Could it be that I'm way away from his bedding area? Or that he just may be running a big circuit where he's in one place for a few days then moves to another spot etc? I'll be in that stand regardless on opening day hoping that it's his day to come through and he doesn't go nocturnal between now and then.
