Just got in from doin some scoutin on a small 7 acre area that is owned by our family. Some of you may remember me tellin you about it a few months back. Its 3 acres of woods... 4 acres of set aside (mowed) .. and now (thanks to solohunter) a beautiful 1/4 acre food plot tucked back in the corner. The whole thing is surrounded by corn with a total of 3 fence rows leading to it ... with a huge swamp only 100 yards down one of the fence rows.
ANYWAYS! .... checked on the food plot and noticed a rub atleast 8" in diameter.. so we took a stroll. Found a total of 11 new rubs... mostly in the same spot as last years or atlest right next to it. 6 of these rubs were over 6" in diameter.. shredded. Apparently he didnt like the one group of about 4 small trees ..( 2" in diameter) .. because tey are now layin on the ground busted off. I have taken my buck so its little brothers turn to try and find out exactly what this "beast" is. I have an idea due to video last year.. but i wanna see him on the ground. Hard to belive that this small of a piece of property.. can hold one every year it seems. ....... With the strong winds and not noticably kickin anything around in there today no longer than we were there... Brother has loaded up the climber and is probably in a tree we picked out by now. Just thought i would share our excitement!
