    You know I always love to ask for input. I got my first trail camera and posted up next to a trail that lead out into this field. Caught a bunch of does and this guy, which only comes out at night. Let's hear your advice for bagging a big noctoural buck.

    just keep putting in that stand time. A doe in heat is the only thing that brings out the big boyz. for the most part. good luck!!

    Let him live till next season. By then that other brow tine will be back to normal and he'll be bigger.

    Honestly your odds of legally getting him within the next month are low. Not saying impossible, but deer, especially bucks, are really hard to hunt right now.

    If you can bring yourself to wait, I'm sure you will get a few opportunities on him next season.

    Sadly, without doing something unscrupulous, next year is your best bet.
    As someone else mentioned, scout out a nice spot now and be ready for bow season next season.

    he looks good. We shot a deer on my friend's property maybe two months back, not to eat- it was sick and looked like a zombie. I think it was deer wasting disease, but I'm not sure. It was all mange riddled and had sores by it's mouth. It honestly did look like a zombie. It wasn't even scared, didn't run from us or anything. I think he knew why we were there and wanted it to be over, he looked like he must have been hurtin.

    I took one out on Falls Road a number of years ago going home at night. Jumped right in front of me. Cost more than a good rifle to fix the car!
