I too haven't seen a buck on camera in the last 3 weeks

Yep, same here. bucks on camera regularly until 3 or so weeks ago. nothing new. Bucks always change things up about now. imo it has to do with everything mrbb mentioned.

Poor entrance and exit strategies probably account for alot of our problems. I wish I had an outfitter quad come and get me at base of tree every night.

I wouldn't worry too much about this. It happens to nearly everyone every year. As long as you still have the does coming in your area it's just a matter of time before you start seeing bucks again. Probably even a few new ones.

I appreciate everyone's comments. Make me feel a little better and gives me some ideas.

I would start making mock scrapes to get the bucks to think other bucks are in there area. has worked for me. here is a buck I shot after making a mock scrape. he came in to it and shot him at 15yds. I use Jackies licking branch lure and Tinks power scrape but there are many other products to use just my choice on these.

I AGREE, as long as you have doe's, bucks will visit your lands
and it one reason food plots work so well
they hold deer/doe
and also why IF you have food plots, its why having different types of plots, to keep deer interested as time goes by, a spring and fall plot contain different foods that appeal to them at different times
thus helping hold em on your lands better

hang in there and good luck

Same situation - BIG 8 all summer - hundred or more pics of him and medium 7 pointer. I think their disappearance has to do with a resident squirrel hunter who suddenly showed up on my cams. The drama of hunting public land. To add insult to injury, had one of my trail cameras walk away ( first time in four years ). Had a great opening day hunt nonetheless.... Drew on a beefy doe, but never let it go because of a branch that may or may not have impacted the shot. One of my camp mates got a nice doe. Cant wait to go back ( already trimmed that branch - valuable lesson learned).

0/3 now. I hated to burn out a stand but couldn't resist with cold front and rain. Sure enough I had 3 bucks doing fight club under me. My heart was pounding as each one appeared. But no big boys:-(
