So between my RD or nothing attitude till now (set to change) and our desire to leave this spot and most of the Homestead un-touched till firearm season (during which this the Homestead is the only spot we have to hunt till landowners are done hunting)....well the bucks like clockwork have moved in and are hitting our small 10 acres habitually and to be honest Kurly (tips almost touch!) is a buck I'd love to take.
Yeah pops had him at 40 this year already but couldn't stop him. He's not the biggest though, there is one other buck that is bigger which has been seen but never captured on camera except for back in July when he still had growth to do and he was already P&Y nearly if not.
