I'm same way man, I worry about nets for fish LOL It was for sure a year I wasn't sure I'd see a tree until November if that...blessed for sure.
Appreciate the feedback, more context to the field. Is is on the neighboring property but not exactly the property line. From our property line the closest point to the corn is 50 yards but likely travel is 200 yards plus. The blue bed in the picture is a place I know to be a buck bed. It’s a 70 year old gravel pit on that 40 so it’s a about a 20 acre area that’s dug out some with high spots in that area which the blue bed is one of the high spots in the gravel pit. A lot of swirling wind allows that bed to be used in basically any wind direction with escapes into water from predators. I can skirt the property edge on the south with a north to west wind and create a “buck fight” scenario with grunts and rattling, I think if he’s in that bedding area or even that area in general he’d head towards the corn field to get downwind to check it out heading towards the corn.
Made it out for another sit. Dead calm, I can hear the squirrels and birds 100 yards away. My dad let me barrow his new sig sauer zulu6 stabilizing Binos they are pretty wild!
