Thanks BBB, I don't even go near there until the last week of Oct. It's just such a huge, thick area, I don't know where to begin. I always hunted the woods behind it, and have killed bucks there, but nothing like him. I don't think the big boy ever leaves.
I'm going to walk every inch, and probably sacrifice every inch of skin to the briars..
Hopefully I'll see something that makes sense. I just wondered if anybody else has had success with an old buck who beds right behind a field, with the prevailing wind in his face. You'd be walking about a mile to come into the backside, and making a ton of noise. Plus, I don't know where he is in there.. If it wasn't so far, I'd cut a trail.
If you come in from the front, your walking into his nose. The sides aren't our property.
I guess that's why he's so old.
