What's the hunting pressure like there? Bucks of that caliber never come out in the open in the daylight where we hunt....even in summer. Actually, most of our biggest bucks don't hit the fields even at night during the rut. Those bucks spend all there time in the swamps, clear cuts and steep mountain sides.
We have 10 acres of turnips, 5 acres of daikon radishes, an apple orchard and a few mini plots. They are full of doe, fawn, small bucks and bears. If I hike a mile or more out into the big woods, I can get trail cam pics of bruisers....but not anywhere close.
