Unfortunately no 2 trail cams were stolen last year and i lent my buddy my last one. He hangs out in a hay field on a main road i pass every day going to and from work. There are a couple other small bucks with him that he dwarfs and they are decent bucks for this area hes just a slob. Unfortuantelly every hunter in the area has seen him and the landowner said i was the 5th guy to ask for permission so im sure there are people thinking the same thing i am. A good childhood friend lives through the woods behind the field by about 3/4 of a mile so im parking at his house and hiking into the 2nd nastiest cedar swamp ive ever been in. Hes gonna be holding up in there i guarantee it. The hunters around here for the most part are gun hunters that bought crossbows so they dont really stand to much of a chance at getting close to him considering the briar hole that borders the swamp on the public side. It sounds like the perfect set up in my head but they dont get that big around here by being dumb. Just gotta put some boots in the mud and figure it out. I have more areas to hunt this year than ever before with the least time to hunt ive ever had haha. so im not getting my hopes up to much. If i dont get him in the first 2 weeks im backing out and going in there again in january for winter bow after they get pressured really hard during our gun seasons. If im gonna get him its gonna be in those 2 periods of time in my opinion. Work just bought the land adjacent to our plant so ill be posting that up this weekend. I used to hunt that area when i was younger and always seen deer but the bucks just hang on the edge of the swamps until dark. The fiances mom moved into our house for a little bit to get her feet back on the ground so i can leave the baby with her while the fiance works on saturday mornings. I plan on getting in the stand as much as possible without ruining my relationship haha
