OK I am not hunting every day or all day
But I am hunting Dad's farm and the neibors farm
I have hunted these fields and woods for 30+ years and know them well
What the bucks are doing is a new one
They are not using the main CPR field center or the tree line on our side of the creek
Doe's are still usig the CPR field and tree line along the creek to bed and acess the cut corn field to feed
But the 2 large bucks seem to avoid the old tryed and true paths and are sticking to the edge of the CPR field and the far side of the creek ( not allowed to hunt there )
As far as I know I have not bumped or spooked these 2 bucks
Not a big deal , as I ajusted
I did have to move a ground blind , but 2 nights later I had my target buck walk past after sunset and feed 40 yds away
So IMO it's not me
Any ideas on why the 2 large bucks have moved ?
Why I am scratching my head , 2 basket 8 points , a couple of smaller bucks and the does are still using the old paths
