Buck patterns

[JAY B]

Thought I would share an interesting experience. Anyone else had this happen ? Last year on Nov. 10th at 515 pm I missed (shot under at 190 yards) a buck I had been hunting and only had a couple daylight pics of and both were right at first light . Fast forward to this year , a couple of first light daytime pics of him is it as far as daylight . Well on evening of Nov 10th I decide might as well hunt exact spot and maybe just maybe he daylights a year to the day. 5:05 pm shot him from same spot he was just a tad closer to creek (210 yards ). Wild to me that a year to
The day he makes the exact same daylight walk !

I killed my 12 last year on the exact day and within 30 minutes of where he stood the year before. This year I got pics of a deer I've not seen since last year. Wouldn't you know it he showed up the same day at the same spot. Deer are patterned animals even a year later.

Well you always kill above average deer so first off….congrats!! Second, this is useless without pics

I've never been fortunate enough to kill a buck I missed the previous year but have got second chances on bucks before .

Pics or I don't believe you

Same time same place theory. I think Don Higgins was the first to point out the phenomenon. I've seen it enough that it can't be coincidence.

This is great info and something I have never noticed before. Definitely makes me want to start logging info.

Very interesting.

Never missed one and killed it the same day a year or 2 later. But I have seen same deer same day or day before or after several times through the year.
