I said my bad. =sorry. Pentail has his stuff together no doubt
I do know most problems come from bordline property wars, been in several myself and thats why I questioned it.
I've killed my biggest deer going deep, it's all in the approach and exit .. you were the one talking about all the time in the woods and nothing to show this year right?
Make no mistake.. I'm on your side Pentail, but...
Why on earth are you hunting that close to the property line when you have wannabes right next to you?
Unless you are hunting 5-10 acres of land , i'd get deep on those deer , especially if they are coming out in your field and not...
Did you think to take the camera home and plug it in to the computer, it should have some internal memory, if they pulled the card which should activate internal memory trigger, you may have a photo of the thief.
I'd say let him walk , It's obvious you have a lot of good targets where you hunt, and that deer has great potential to blow up to something really special, as long as the hunting pressure around you isn't
overlly strong.
Your right , he sheds the velvet he's gonna look 10-15 inches less...
Sounds like your buddy has found a giant or two and he doesn't want you messing up his "kill plans"
I'd get some cameras of my own in there without telling him, and see what all the fuss is about.
