Well I know 16 acres ain’t a lot of land but it’s enough to let me hang a few stands and hunt behind my house. I get to spend more time with family instead of driving. Even though I’m in a club and I enjoy going down there with friends. I found it hard to hunt any where else this year. It all started last year when I tagged out first week of December. Then as luck would have it I had a big 10 show up. I had him on camera 4 times between second week in December and first week in January. 2 night and 2 daytime. Then he disappeared. It drove me close to insanity trying to find him or figure out what happened. This year I had a nice 7 show up and I knew where he was crossing. I hunted there opening day of bow season and the 7 showed up 10 minutes after daylight. I drew back but didn’t feel comfortable with the shot and let him walk. That was the last I saw him. Fast forward to opening day of gun season. My brother was getting married that weekend in Virginia so we had to go out of town for that. Checked my cameras when I got home and guess who is on it. The big 10 from last year. In the daylight. I hunted him every evening. He didn’t show back up. Halloween was the only evening I didn’t hunt. We took our 2 year old trick or treating. Well guess who spends 45 minutes under my tree stand that evening. You guessed it the 10. Anyways it never worked out. I had a good season. Had a lot of good deer hanging around and I’m sure it’ll just keep getting better. Sorry for the long read. By the way what do y’all guess he will score. Split picture is last year and this year.
