Or had they been living there all their lives and were just that secretive?
There's your answer I believe! These big bucks don't get big for no reason.
I don't get how some hunters think they know exactly what they have in there woods. Trail cameras don't tell the whole story by any means. Or just because your not seeing anything doesn't mean they are not there either. These old mature bucks are allot smarter then people give them credit for!!
