What would you all do in this scenario? Again early this morning good buck right in front of tree stand on food plot. This makes 5-6 days in a row. I'm hunting tomorrow. Of all the stands on my property his movements have only put him at this one. I know going in early is ill advised due to the likelihood of bumping him and/or the doe in the area. But the likelihood of even seeing him elsewhere is way way lower. Go in real early? Wait to daylight and still hunt in? Avoid the temptation and give it a go elsewhere? We do not have a ton of deer in my area and often times a yearling is the largest buck I get a stab at each year.

I know a guy in this same scenario........who much like you had patterned his buck......and he got into his blind at 3 AM to kill his "buck of a lifetime" at first light.
Similar situation many years back and I got in the tree @ 3 AM. He followed a doe in around 3:30. Had him and the doe at 20-30 yards just after legal shooting light through almost 11:30. I enjoyed it so much that I never pulled the trigger.
A decent buck showed up 20 minutes into shooting light. I may go out in the morning with the bow, as this is second day he has showed up. This is the second year on camera. G1s are the same, but the G2s are longer. I guess him to be a nice NW Missouri 3 1/2 year old.
