I finally checked a camera I hung late august, today. I only went in with a hawk helium, saddle, and linemans belt as the wife and baby were in truck waiting to go to lunch. I walked in and found rubs where this camera used to be prior to new placement late august. I kept seeing rubs and was getting excited. I finally got to the tree (6” diameter), hung stick, attached LB and went up about 4 ft off the ground. I snapped the camera open and heard a crunch to my right, I looked over and there was a buck eating acorns at seriously about 15 yards from me. He just kept eating and looking up at me. I watched him for about 5 minutes until I reached for my phone since no one would believe me. He got weird and trotted away in direction I wanted to rehang cam. He never blew out or anything just disappeared slowly. I just pulled cam and left. Ever happen to anyone? I was wearing street clothes basically. Seemed healthy for cwd. Man if that was my buck encounter for season.
