Help me bring this guy to the freezer...

[recondoc]

I've never taken a buck with my bow and now I've got the bug. The problem is that this guy is coming in late at night. Anybody out there have ideas on how I can pull him in during shooting hours?

I can use all the help my newbie butt can get. (Shooting him for me is not an option though. )
Thanks,
Doc

stop hunting the feeder and hunt closer to where he beds. good luck.

lift the feeder up about 3 feet and he might be comfortable coming in during the day. The poor guy can't fit that big rack under the feeder without banging around so he sneaks in at night when nobody is around!!! jk. Try feeding less corn, sometimes they learn to get there on time so they can eat everything. Which brings up another point, he is there at night because he is spinning your feeder plate with his tongue and eating corn whenever he wants! Put a cage on it. About 3 weeks ago I sent my buddy a picture of a buck on his back legs spinning the plate 10 minutes before the feeder went off. My buddy kept wondering where all his corn was going until I caught the buck on camera.

Feed only in the morning

Like already mentioned, feed less corn in the evenings.

I've got it backed off to 3 seconds in the evening. I think one of my problems was that, while I was gone to Africa last month, the time change occurred but I wasn't here to reset it. It's adjusted now but that was just in time for the full moon cycle. I'm hoping the cloud cover and the waning moon will help me out next week.
Thanks for the tips guys.
I'm going to do some more scouting tomorrow and see if I can get a tree stand set along one of his approach trails.
