I guess I will have to take your word on it, there are a handful a great guys on this site that when they say " that buck is a Benchleg" you can bet your spare change that Buck is a Benchleg.

No , its the one with the large furn and rotted out cedar just to the left. If you look close there appears to be a fence about 80yds behind him with a sign but I cant make out the message.

Missed the sign, I was focused on the girl. I can't read what that sign says either, I assume it says FFTH.
