Default RE: 12- Official Team 12 Thread

Ive got good news and bad news team. Bad news is the two monster bucks Ive been watching, I cant hunt. The land is split right down the middle and one property owner said his land was already spoken for and the other said they enjoy watching the deer and dont want them killed. One buck was a typical 12 probably score 160s or better and the other was 16+ points probably score 200+Now for the good news. One property I hunted last year is having a bicycle path built through it and thought for sure the deer had moved out. However, while scouting yesterday my brother and I checked about a dozen possible locations and he asks "lets check the field by the blue shed" I reply "Its a waste of time with all the commotion thats been going on for the last year." He convinces me and while walking Im sarcasticly saying "Wow theres a good trail" pointing at a set of small fawn tracks. We get about 15yds from where my stand was last year and in a wall of grass theres about a 4ft by 3ft hole. I walk through and seea highway of tracks about 40yd x 15yd area of flattened corn and this is 12yds away from the tree I hunted last year. Now, Im hunting this place again this year and Im hunting it hard. I havent seen any deer yet, but I have a gut feeling that the 190 inch buck and some of his 140-160 buddies from last year are using this area. I dont have a trail cam so its just gonna have to be proven in the field. By the way, I talked my little bro into letting me hunt my old location and he offered to hunt about 100 yds west of me in the opposite corner of the field.So one of us should get a shot at nice deer this year. I enjoy hunting close to my brother should there be an emergency or anything. We watch eachothers back and also call shy deer past eachother when theyre not sure to enter the field and arent offering a shot. Fingers crossed team, I may put a hefty score on the board.
