I honestly believe that the majority of people on this forum have 3.5+ year old animals in their hunting properties that they don't know of. Perfect example.............

Last year there were 5 differentbucks on my property that were seen during archery season that were 100"+ deer. The buck I killed was the smallest of them. 2x of them were seen in areas less thanhundred yards away from where I had a corn pile and camera setup for the entire summer. I only got one of the deer on camera and that didn't even happen till 11/8. My buck from last year specifically was killed maybe 200 yards away from one of the food plots that got hammered the hardest last year and that plot had a camera in it as well. Never saw him before that morning that I let the air out of him.

Edit - Jeff, didn't you say the poachers shot a nice 8 or 10 pointer off the same property you hunted last year? Did you see him or know of him?
