Corn. Laced with cyanide.

Best chance for late season is to follow the food. Even big bucks must eat. If you have a good food source, stake it out and wait for a stretch of really cold days and hunt it hard. He has to eat to stay alive.

Figure out his feeding area and bedding area, Get close to the bedding area early, play the wind correctly. One day he will be late to bed.

Exactly where did you catch this buck??? Inquiring minds want to know...
He has no issues in wonder what that IR thing is pointed at him. Get a flash camera...

Hes nocturnal just like all the other bucks. Unless you bump him from his bed hes gonna stay hunkered down except for a few hours throughout the night.
This time of year especially if there is snow on the ground you gotta get where the food is.

laced with sleeping pills would be better...you would ruin the meat if you put cynide in it
But anyhow stand time, stand time...eventually they come out in daylight/shoting hours. He looks like a young buck 2.5yrs old or so...IMO...Good luck!
we note that all pics are on the same day(?). If he continues to appear, he likes the area.
Start laying down the corn from there to where ever......if he likes it he will be back..
You have a few weeks left to Bow hunt....other wise just keep feeding..and get new pics.
No Pics? he was probably just passing by.........

figure out where he is coming from before he gets to the camera. if he is out feeding all night, it would be easier to catch him going back to his bedding area in the morning. any pinch points in the trees between the field and any holly stands or mountain laurel thickets,thick pine areas,sticker brier patches.
have you gotten any more pics of him? his anlers will be gon in a week or two. that deer has good genes and could stand to be let go 2 more years anyway. i guess him at 2 years old. he would be quit impressive at 3.5-4 years old

The idea of letting him grow another year is great, but if this is on public hunting land not everyone else thinks that way. A buck like that will cause the fever and he will be hanging on someone elses wall by next year. The only way the deer mgt. plan works is if you have a thousand+/- acres of private land to manage them on. IMO.
With 3 weeks left, I like the idea of the feeder and keeping it stocked and set to go off during daylight hours(maybe 7AM). You might be able to get him conditioned in the next couple of weeks if you start now.

if he aint been killed yet he most likley wont be this year. they dont get any dumber with age. im not gonna get into the whole "if i dont kill him somone else will mentality" thing. ive seen where that goes so just shoot it if it makes you happy and use the antlers for rattlers or somthing.

He is not mature yet, he will prolly blow up in antler size next year given he has good feeding and nutrient rich diet this coming year. He made it this long, very good possibility of him making it to next year. Pattern him all summer into early bow and get him between then and the rut. That's what I would do.
