Rem700,

Go for it. I too hunt near Roanoke and we have cut some tracks last week with the snow. He is definitely hanging around our farm. Someone poached a 6ptr from the road 2 weeks ago and just the other day I went to check to see if anything was eating on him and he was gone. I followed the drag mark about 100 yards. The guts were the only thing that were eaten. I found some dandy tracks in the snow. He is a big one according to his foot. If I see him saturday he will be in trouble. Good luck
