RE: 35- Team "Nockdown" Official Thread
I was climbing up a tree in a new location this afternoon (area has 110 acres of corn on west, and 100 some acres of cattails to the east, and about a 100 yard wide buffer strip between it *where my stand is*) and out steps a 5x5 on a very heavily worn trail 22 yards from me. He stood on the edge of the cattails for a few minutes then made his way into the corn field. I backed out of the area, and will go back tomorrow and finish hanging my stand (might put a ladder stand in its spot now so I can video easier). The buck was mid to upper 140s, and was around 20" inside spread. After I backed out I set up on a hill top and watched the area, 2 other bucks came out and around 15 does/fawns. There is just one line of trees bordering on the cattails and I will be putting 2 or more stands in the area for different wind directions.
