New.....let's look at this in the manner that's gonna give them the most benefi of the doubt. An acre is 43,560 SF. That's basically a 210x210SF area. On this acre is a house.....a barn...a driveway....a big tree.....and nothing else. Now....take all of the human scent away.....and throw all the bait you want......and try and get 3 mature bucks to enter that space.

I kept a feeder in my yard for over a year. I never saw "A" buck in that time (and I could hit a 3 iron over to this guy's house).

These guys are NOT the most savory characters in the world. I'v eNEVER had a run-in with them.....but I'm the exception to the rule. Theyve either threatened or carried through with threats on several people in our area (including property damage and physical threats). I have a wife.....a child....and these guys (grandad and dad) are former residents of the state I live in (ifyaknowwhatimean).

It's unfortunate.....to say the least.
