[QUOTE="db-2, post: 381074, member: 4743"] Some of you know this but in 95 i purchase my last whitetail rifle tag and ever since have been bow hunting. In 98 i bought 1.8 acres on an abandon RR track that is in the middle of nowhere. Four rancher/farmer neighbors. All post their land. Two have been good to me while the other two not so. Those two have decided to put their stands within arrow range of mine even though they own a bunch of land. Magpies and i learn to live with it. Not really, and there is a lot more to that story. Site has been really good for me and family. Son and i have arrow our largest whitetail net wise. Mine did measure out at 167 and some change net and his just a touch smaller. A number of other arrow deer with larger gross. About 8 years ago a bull elk came up and that was neat. Did not know that in short order he would bring the whole community up. About 100-150 elk that came in the dark of night and left in the dark of morning until this past year when they stay. Well, that did it for the whitetail and we move and started new sites. After about 4 years now with the food plots they are turning out really good. But last year there was a nice bull in the herd and friend rifle hunted with no success. Another individual spent two nights and 3 days in a group of bales south of my stand. No success. One day i notice a bunch of blood on ground and loader tracks. Found out a person shot a cow up there. I decided to visit the elk last year as they were staying and found with the right wind i could get within 75 yards of the herd. So, i began to visit with the elk over a number of times and requested politely that they move which they did. Spent the rest of the winter about two miles from my stand. With the stands next to me, the elk, this year i planted no brassicas, about 4 acres now, and kept the site clean with chemicals. Did put a camera up and have a cow elk, calf and a small bull coming up. Have found a decent bull i think nearby. Beautiful horns, very dark with white tips. Maybe at least 200 plus score but have no ideal so i will see if i can post a picture and u let me know. But will soon need to visit the elk and again request that they move on. I find i do enjoy visiting with the elk. Game and fish, i do not prefer to talk with anymore, they know it and that is another story. Anyways, having trouble posting, grand kid coming and will work on posting the picture then. Do not want to rewrite this story if i do not have to so hope in time i will have pictures. db [/QUOTE]
