I had to come back and look at that deer again. Just an amazing example of what hard work can get you. 1,000 hours on stand for a deer like that with a bow is way better than average!

Thanks GarGuy! I would also like to Thank You for ALL the information in your Pressured Deer thread as it really changed the way I hunted over the past year and no doubt helped me get this deer.

Few things I would like to highlight that definitely played a huge role in getting this buck on the ground, hopefully this will benefit others at some point

• Rained .5" the night before
  
• Using an Old Crown Royal bag to carry my hand corn in quietly(He was bedded down within 20yards of the food plot I was hunting)
  
• When I pour out my hand corn I make sure I put 2-3 lines straight towards me and I space them out 4-5 yards away from each other. This makes the deer turn broadside for you while he is going from each pile. To try and paint a picture, the corn piles should look like this | | | <-----put 4-5 yards between them and make sure the piles are straight towards you. My Dad taught me this technique and it WORKS GREAT!
  
• Parked in a different spot than where I normally would, although I did have to walk .5 mile further that morning
  
• Once I laid eyes on him, I DID NOT look at his antlers again. LOL
  
• Ozonics machine! He came within 5 yards of being directly on my downwind side
