I take what my neighbors say with a grain of salt.....but I still listen
.
My next door neighbor (and by that....I mean he lives on the 25 acre tract, beside me) is the exception. He's a former bowhunter....and when he tells me he saw something that got his attention......I listen. He saw my '06 8-pointer before I did. He said...."He's a nice8-pointer for around here". When I showed him the harvestphoto....he said "Yep...that's him".
My best little woodlot........the landowner told me of a buck that was hanging out in there.....that looked like his rack was too big for his body. He saw me drag my '06 buck out.....and said "Yep.....that's him".....lol.
Same deer......two different descriptions.....by two different experience level people.
So.....like I said....I take everything they say with a grain of salt.
