Oh yeah he's out there. Will he fall, legally next year? Unlikely.
As a side note I heard today (or my wife did actually) that the land I got permission to hunt in the late summer, and then inexplicably lost permission before setting foot on the property,holds a Giant!
She was talking to a local Cop who hunts there, and she said I hunt near there,
He asked if I had gotten "his" buck. I guess he has 3 cameras up and has chased this certain deer for 2 years. He might be the one the locals have been telling me about. I've never seen him and actually kinda doubted his existance till today.
I only hunt a small farm that borders the property and the crop rotation this year made it hard to hunt!
