First, great buck and one to be proud of.
The question I have is can you hunt the 500 adjacent acres? Because if I could there is no way I could sit on the same 18 acres constantly, I don't much care how big a buck I may take.
Again not trying to be a WA, but I just couldn't do it and remain sane. Stuff is happening on that 500 and if I could go there, I would just have to try and see what it was.
A few of us have a thousand acre lease and there are times I have to go to a 5-6 thousand acre Game Lands or public lands that border it because I start to fell confined.
You have my admiration for being able to do what you do.
For me ADD is sometimes an advantage.
yes ,i can hunt on one of the big tracts that joins my 18 acres, but i always seem to kill the big bucks from that one stand. the 18 acres is 60-70% thickets ,the big tracts are wide open timber mostly. the deer run into the thickets and calm down. then they get up to feed or run doe's and end up in front of me.
