Lol I'm sure he would come inside if the door was open. They are unafraid of anyone down there

He's not worth it. If you want I can come down and help you deal with such small and worthless specimens.

I'd pass and enjoy watching him.


I'd consider harvesting him when I thought the odds were he wouldn't make it another year.  Or, I'd let a first timer harvest him.

Did you get him or did he disappear?
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Well had a shot at him but let him walk :/  he was to close to privet land and didn't want to chance him going that way.

Wait, are you telling me that there are still people in this state that respect private property?  Sounds like b.s. to me  :chuckle:

I've always respected everything. People property and rights are something I respect a lot as I would hope others do.

You deserve kudos for holding off.  Hunting isn't always about the kill.  A lot is how a hunter feels about the  choices they make to get to the kill.

Pretty little antlers and in my opinion as good as he will get.  Does not look like this is his first rodeo.  On a different subject, I could give you some recipes for something better than corn for your feeder
