ORIGINAL: GMMAT

It's not that big (200+ acres).....but there's also an adjacent 200+ acres that only sees the landowner and his brother hunt that tract. My buddy's lease has only 2 hunters on 120 acres.

There's really NO REASON for these deer to leave this area. They have EVERYTHING they need in this relatively small area......Food; Water....and plenty of cover (And LOTS of does!).

I saw the buck I took on 12/9 only twice before I shot him. My buddy never saw him. He shot a buck last year that had a cowhorn on one side....and an antler that resembled a ram's on the other. I never saw that deer. There were 2 10-pointers killed off this land that I never saw....nor did I have trail cam pics of.

These deer don't HAVE to travel. Luckily for us....they do a LITTLE.
