I'm getting pictures of him around 5 in the morning and 10 at night. He's never been seen during daytime hours.

Any advice on how to draw him out this season while I'm in the stand?

I have no tips but that is one awesome looking deer. Maybe he will come out more during the rut.

Figure out where he is coming from or going to. He is almost certainly moving during daylight hours, your camera is just in a spot he only frequents at night

That's a field of peanuts he's grazing in surrounded by hardwoods that have plenty of acorns. When the peanuts get picked this week we'll plant rye.

If he's coming out of those hardwoods, he's likely grazing on acorns in a staging area between his bedding area and that peanut field.
Find that spot, and you'll kill that sucker opening weekend
ETA that's a gorgeous mature buck. Not much YOU will do would draw him out. Either go to his staging area or hope for a doe to draw him out during rut

There were two deer at my last lease with this pattern. No one ever jumped them. No one ever saw them during chasing. It was as if they went underground during the daylight. My guess was that they had found a bedding spot off property that no human ever walked near. Or, they sank under the brake and breathed through bamboo straws.

I think this may be what I have done this year. I was getting pics of bucks but it was late at night. I found a THICK bedding area on the edge of the cutover in an oak flat that I'll hopefully fill some tags out of this year. Last year everything during daylight were does, yearlings and one 3 pointer that I thought about shooting because his body size was massive compared to the two does he was with.

Go purchase a doe and tie her up...hunt a LOT.

Otherwise, enjoy the pictures.

You need to find out where he is going or where he is coming from. Just walking he can travel a few miles in an hour but deer like to browse so find a place to set your camera up on his route. If ther eis a rub line follow it and set the camera up around there. If you can get pictures during the day, You are one step ahead of him.

I really haven't seen too many falling up my way, but the trees are well stocked with them. Saw a big limb fall saturday. Only thing I can think of was it was weak already and the strain from all the acorns brought it down.

I don't think he's bedding far from the field because he's consistantly appearing night and day.

The oaks in my yard in N. MS are dropping acorns and leaves but we haven't had any measurable rain in 5 weeks.

He is staging and feeding in the hardwood area before coming into my he open at night. That's where I would bunt him. Don't go busting around to close to his bedding area or be will vanish. As someone else said your best time to get him will be when he starts chasing. Good luck 0that is a very fine buck..
