It's my lease land. If I ever hit the lotto, I'll own it. I've kept track of several mature deer on this tract of land over the years. They don't ever go too far from here according to my trail cameras.
I hope that the 10 pt goes into hiding and doesn't get shot. I don't get obsessed with trophy hunting, but I'd still like for that fella to make it a couple more years. The genetics are here and we have a lot of deer. Our does are plentiful enough to keep bucks around during the fall. I'm sure they wander off, but they can't breed all of these does during the first rut. We see a lot of late rut action here too. There's some really good sanctuary near us and I'm sure that a lot of our mature deer slip on over there once the pressure gets applied to them. If he shows himself in front of me, it'll be a bad move on his behalf.
