Iowabob85,
At present he is. I'm looking into getting permission to hunt this property.

Most of the hunters in my area like to hunt their 5-20 acres of timber, I like to hunt thick fence lines & hedge rows for these big bucks. During the rut almost all of the big bucks move out into the open fields & fence lines & hedges, there they can see good in all directions, bedding with their backs to the wind & watch down wind for predators. The trick is getting into position & waiting for one to walk by following a hot doe.. this is were a GOOD ghilie suit works well! I hunt with a short (brush bow) recurve & can crawl down the fence/hedge & get into position & wait. And NO, it's not that simple!
This buck (12 point w/split brow tines) & one (I haven't got pics of yet) bigger also use this hedge to travel, bed & breed. Just a killer location that is over looked by most!? I just love showing the local hunter these pics & hearing them ask.. "Man, where are you seeing all of these big bucks?" lol
I have given a couple local hunters/friends pictures of the bucks they have harvested. It's kind of cool, & they just love having a pic of their deer on the hoof!

Just thought I would add this.
It's an 11 point I killed hunting a hedge row, It was my first day out that year & I was only on stand for one & a half hours.
