HUGE BUCK HELP PLEASE

about a year ago, I had this HUGE 3 year old 10 point coming on my land. so this buck roamed around not only my land, but all of the neighbors land as well. I have not since this buck since last year... That is of course until a neighbor across the road got a picture of him from this year. what is the best attractant that I can use to be able to get this buck on my land, and staying on my land... If someone else gets him, I will go crazy. thanks, -Brian

below is attached a picture from last year, and a picture from this year.

How many acres do you have?

Hope you have better habitat than your neighbors and don't pressure him , only hunt him when the wind and conditions are
right . Beautiful deer I hope it all works out .

Build a sanctuary on your land. Turn beagle loose on neighbors land where pic was taken. Hunt on edge of sanctuary, but not in it, and kill him in front of beagle with buckshot.

Very nice deer btw.

You need to build you a sanctuary to keep that deer in .. Nice deer give him some does and some space I would hunt every chance I got .. Big deer like that become strictly nocturnal under pressure you need to be in him hard during the rut ..

only 140 acres of cow pasture... funnels in all deer from surrounding woods, so hoping to just get him in the area

Whoo he's a goodun. Good luck with him

Man that's a big buck. Id try to resist the urge to hunt him every day. Like stated, hunt the wind. Try mid day on a full moon.

Nice buck for sure. Get the does on your land and he will follow. Good luck.

Better fence something off from the cows and plant something.

Be careful looking at those pics my phone just froze and took me to yes.com website where I had won a gazillion dollars. Had to turn the internet off to get it to go away.

cows are fenced off and about to plant.

Plant good forage not just wheat and oats. Fence it from the cows. Ho;d the does and he will come.

ill try my best

Pressure is the worst thing you can do... If you are running cameras, do not check them but maybe once a month at the minimum. The more you look for him the more wise he will get. Let the neighbors put the pressure on him. You are in his core area, he will use and is on your property. Do not go anywhere unless the wind is in your face, I can garuntee he is as well.. If you have wooded bottoms, that is where he will be traveling. Bucks don't get big by being stupid, your challenge is to be more wise than him... It's a game of patience and a solid game plan...

As said before, keep the does on your property and he will be there looking when the rut comes. If this buck means that much to you, if I were you, I wouldn't set foot on the place till the rut. Let him realize that all the hunting pressure is elsewhere......then, when you do hunt it when the rut is in full swing, hunt the wind and sit all day long. It is hell to do this but if you want him that is what it is gonna take. There ain't no attractant or magic juju beans that will bring him to you. That is the absolute worst way to approach him in my opinion.

I always thought a few acres with a pen full of does would be a great attractant. Knew a guy who had deer and he'd carry his rifle when he went to feed them in January. He shot a buck or 2 trying to break into the pen.

50 lb corn with 50 lb rice bran then switch to rice bran once he gets going on it.

From those pics it looks like a spotlight is going to be the only way to see him till maybe the rut.

Your going to need some recruitment deer to lure him to the sanctuary. Good luck he's a goodun!

Well placed corn.

He's one of those night owls but he may move in daylight hours a time or 2 and I hope you are there when he does.

Do your best to attract the does and don't hunt him until the rut is my honest answer, that old warrior ain't moving during the day if he starts feeling any pressure

98. I would use everything, and most important dont be scared of trying something both inside and outside the box. By this I mean obviously I would get some trophy rock out immediately. Sounds like your neighbor has alraady beat you to the punch. Butuse them a lot more smarter, use them to recruit. Put them on your boundaries. Then slowly move them inside your property. We do this and it has worked, not on a buck yet but this worked on a trophy doe we hunted last year. Start mocking everytime you can, it aint gonna hurt anything. Miss October, Miss Novemner, code blue, tinks, buck bomb the middle of your property like its Hiroshima. You gotta make this buck want to be on your land and doing nothing aint gonna get him in. Always pay attention to the wind, always, even if it means not even going to your land if its not right. Good luck man and let us know when you give him a dirt nap! Nothing we like more than recruiting a neighbors buck!

I agree with others, it is all about the pressure. Don't pressure him until the rut kicks in. Then get after it as hard as you can. Find another spot to hunt you some meat until the rut starts full bore. No guarantees on a hoss like that, but that will give you your best chance. Let your neighbors apply the pressure and hope he doesn't do something stupid until your ready.

With nothing but cow pastures and strips of woods, I'd hunt the piss outta him as long as the wind was right. It sounds like the deer is living on your neighbor and visits from time to time. Unless you sit there with the wind blowing to him, it sounds like a place that's easy to get in and out of quietly and unnoticed. Waiting on the rut could be too late due to your neighbor killing him, or pushing him to the next county. Now that you know he's there, I sure wouldn't be checking that camera day in day out like I'm sure you want to. Let him be unless you plan to hunt him.
This is just my opinion from what your place sounds like. Without anyone seeing it, I think it's just a WAG. Good luck! He's a goodun!

Corn. Fence cows out of feed stations. Keep it full feeding liberally.

Serious. I'd set up a few. And is hunt legally a distance from them/out of sight.

I beleive I wpuld go crazy to if someone got him but yourself.the best thing that works for me is ricebran 50 pounds with a150 pounds of corn stired up.then pour 2cans of grage koolaid on top.you may think im pulling your leg but the deer cant help thereselfs .pour it directly on the ground .unless you all ready have a feeder there dont go putting one there he will not return if anything new appears.this being said I had a monster9 pointer and several other shooter bucks appear on my land 4to5years ago,but this was in september.I went and bought a 30 spin feeder put it outthere to try to get them in a daylight pattern .the deer which I had on camera every night just vanished.

...and to add to what I said earlier, stay quiet about it to you neighbors. The more you talk about it the harder they will try also to get him on their property. It also will get the poachers attention. I'd really hate to see that one go down like that.

To all these folks yelling corn, rice brand and other stuff...... Are y'all telling him to pour it out and sit on it?? Whatever you do man, do it right. It would haunt me forever to kill one like that, put him on the wall, and have to think how I killed him illegally. With 140 acres of cow pastures, I don't see how you could keep it out of sight, yet it benefit you. Maybe I'm wrong, but every person that is around you and knows this deer is there is probably going to be putting corn, rice brand, peanut butter, swamp donkey, you name it out. Just let them push him out on you. Hunt smart and attempt to kill him legally. If there's one like that there, more than likely that area will produce another one in the future. Hopefully you kill him, but if you don't it's not the end of the world. A lot of pressure on you while hunting is a good way to get burned out!!!

well the picture of him from this year was from a neighbor, and hes already bigmouthed it for all of facebook so i guess its just whoever ends up in the right place at the right time... Survival of the fittest!

Id hunt the stand from daylight to dark with the right wind. Catch him cruising through after 10:30 stretching them legs,

Id quit hunting and start corning the heck out of it. Set the trail cam on it. Check it maybe every two or three weeks. If you pull him back over to you, the trail cam will let you know what time and how often. Other than that your best chance is rut. Whatever you do, dont booger it up by shooting anything else or walking around looking for his sign. Nothing really is gauranteed to pull him to you but this is what i would do. After ole neighbor pressures him out he ought to be right in your lap.

I would have a gay dove shoot on opposite side you hunt. Have 575 dozen arrows ready to sling at deer you are after. Let the beagles, walkers, or bluetick dogs runit out of the sanctuary. If that don't work throw out five truckloads of corn and hunt 101 yards down wind and don't shoot nothing, but that one deer you are after. Until the neighbors call the law on you for hunting baited plot.

Draw the does and the bucks will follow.

Can't believe no one has mentioned the Clorox stump.

clorox stump?

Newbs..... Yes, the Clorox stump. You take 1.3 gallons of Clorox and pour onto said stump inside of your deer sanctuary. Make sure you only use 1.3 gallons as anything less or more will mess with the chemical breakdown that happens. The deer will absolutely destroy this area within 3-37 days. I call it the 'Big Buck Clorox Detox'.

this has to be a joke

I poured Clorox on a trophy rock in my sanctuary for recruitment purposes obviously. I now have 3 bucks from Illinois and 2 from south Texas. You will be amazed at it's recruiting power. I have done wonders for my genetics

Classic

Clorox stump is not a joke I know there are some pics of bucks that have been using a Clorox stump floating around here some where.

He prolly wont be on his feet much during the day until the seeking phase...set a doe decoy out in the pasture and soak her down with some Quality doe estrous and spend as much time as possible hunting him playing the wind...If you know the general time they rut....And I would do a lot of praying... He is a Dandy!

Curious how you could tell a buck was from another state???

Hunt him where he spends most of his daylight hours....near his bed.

you need the corn hole thing. screw that in the ground and he will come running with a flat and phillips head in his back pocket

Nope. What do you think causes a deer to go piebald?

its stamped on his nutz...duh

I'd run cameras on fence crossings. Just drive out and check them. If it's a working cattle farm ain't no truck going to bother them. See if you can get any sort of pattern on him. If not, get where you can see the best during the rut. He might get stupid.

I wouldn't spend a fortune on corn either. There are plenty of ways to kill him without that expense

Dangit man I did leave something out. Thanks.

The looks of that thing scares me. Must have been invented by a funny guy.

By the way they grunt. Texas buck has a texas drawl to his grunt. Illinios deer sounds like a Chicago mobster

And why is this in the "Serious" forum????????????????

Catch the wind blowing from your fields to your neighbors land and get as scent free as possible. I'd go in and hang several scent wicks and use a couple of bottles of triple heat and a doe decoy. I'd pull back as far as possible from wicks and decoy as I could shoot and sit daylight til dark.

This thread is pretty dang funny.

But it is a good reminder how baiting / feeding (or whatever you want to call it to make it sound better) - is out of control. It's apparently the one and only answer to all your deer hunting problems. Just my opinion. Bash away!

do those work? ive always been curious

myself , i'd pattern my neighbor . let them drive the deer to me . i'd try to find the trails he used the most and set up as far away as i could . i would not crowd him but i'd sure as hell be there .


now you don't want to bump the deer their way either . lol

Best advice imho

And for all the "keep does on your property" answers - did ya'll read this is on 140 acres of cow pasture. Every deer "passing thru" is bedding on the neighboring property.

I guess I'm not an expert.

why i answered the way i did .

Agreed. Also even if the neighbors are pressuring him he is more than likely not going to choose to come to your "open" 140 acres of pasture. He may pass through but he will not call it home

Yeah - you're right.

And dang all those neighbors where this deer spends over 99.9% of his time. Can't believe his deer is living over there.

Corn....lots and lots of corn

1000's of pounds of corn, and gallons of the doe estrus poured directly in the middle of your 140 acre property, this should get him in there.

Now you got to put some serious thinking in this, a deer like this calls for extreme measures ! soak corn in that chit that took out Michael Jackson, now DON'T do it like ole Mike, and put so much on it you kill em make sure they gonna wake back up! It probably had some Clorox in it too that's what made him piebald .. Anyhow , once the does start falling out scoop em up and put in a big cage right in the middle of that big cow pasture ... Leave glory hole for big boy ... Now dont hunt it till the rut... Now make sure you got it right in the middle of that big ole cow pasture .. Now here is the part that's really important, Cause you gonna need the right weapon for a deer like that , a proven weapon.. Now Call up DW for some lessons and see if will rent out that 4 wheeler of his for the rut ..

Alfalfa Hay

thank me later

This and very quietly. No ridding a fourwheeler...if you must ride something ride a bicycle but take a gallon of Clorox...dont worry about pouring on a dang stump like these guys...just pour it on the freakin ground. Good luck !

Whew, that's a good one.

Best way to kill him will be with a gun from the truck while checking cows I imagine. I'd start with a morning and late afternoon check until the rut and then I would up it to 3 times a day.

Get you a rabbit's foot and go hunting. About 90% of deer hunting is luck...being at the right place and right time.

I have looked at this thread 100 times and I JUST NOW noticed that you said the pictures were from last year and this year. I couldn't figure out how that same deer looked so huge from the rear and so much smaller from the front. LOL

That is a MOOSE. Good luck. I'd probably go opening morning of rifle season and be there an hour early and then not step foot on the place til the rut.

That is a huge buck , hope to see some pics of him belly up

put 1000 pounds of corn out and hide under it with a knife and when he comes jump out and slit his throat or maybe try to poop where he poops that seems to piss them off for me and come in hot

He'll be on the nearest ridge at the head of a draw looking downhill with the wind at his back.

Nothing but 10 million corn flakes between you and him.

I wouldn't go much further than the gate until I got a clear cold day.

Did this last week and is seemed to work for me. took down a cull 49 point.

Holy thread resurrection Batman! Wow.

Kill him early in the season if you can. Come rut time he will travel.

what moran told you he was a three year old????

That deer is dead

He gone

Yes of OLD age! LOL

He's dead Jim
