Good luck and post pics!
A peculiar virtue in wildlife ethics is that the hunter ordinarily has no gallery to applaud or disapprove of his conduct. Whatever his acts, they are dictated by his own conscience, rather than that of onlookers. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this fact.

Not private, anyone can hunt here. and if you are hinting towards as if I am feeding him I am not, I dumped feed for 2 weeks  in aug to see if he is still alive.

sometimes missing can pay dividends later...good luck!  Save your  :twocents: because if you shoot him, you'll definitely have to mount him.

over 150 for sure, I have a 158 5x5 that has short beams and is thin, this buck has at least 23" beams being on the short side of the guess and pretty thick too and even.
here is last season pic, he is bigger this year

If you need someone to take his buddy out of the picture for ya  :hello:

The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
