Congrats on the first deer. I remember my first deer like it was yesterday. As for the stand situation I would try sitting somewhere else. If that doesnt work try stalking him.

If only had till thursday to hunt this piece of property and i only seen 4 deer out of the stand i was already hunting i would choose another stand do some of what i call speed scouting its what i do when i only have a couple of days to hunt somewhere if you seen a 12 point and want to take him go to where you seen him at and see if there is any ovious trails then go from there i would back track the direction he came from and try to figure out where and why he's using the area chances are if you find a well used trail he's probly not the only buck in the area you might not get a shot at him but run into a different buck well good luck i hope you get him.

Try to find his rub line and set back within range. Try to pattern the Buck without it pattering you and it will!

Stink the place up with some doe estrus and call a bit. Shoot that thing!

Sit somewhere else because he might have moved to a different place if he was pressured or found a better food plot.
