This will sound misleading as it would seem it would hunt huge, but it's not. I have 240 acres of manipulated land. (Still manipulating)

I lease an additional 900 acres in one block. Sounds like a lot but it's about 350 acres open crop land with a few fingers of timber running through it. 400 of it is cow pasture which never gets hunted. It's not worth the time to sit with cows. Total huntable timber in 900 is about 150 acres.

Without really knowing it I bought in a unique area of Northern MO. I have huge neighbors. One with 4000 acres another with 1500 and another with 1000. There are a couple of smaller farms around but the bulk of the area is controlled by just a few people and I lucked into the middle of them.

Neighbors with big blocks certainly helps! No matter where you are neighborhood makes all the difference. I'm still not sure what goes around one of my farms during rifle but the reports from a neighbor have me nervous. My plan to rifle hunt it this year was interrupted by killing a nice buck with my bow the night before it opened so I spent the day taking care of him then had to head home Sunday. Good reason to miss it! Hopefully it wasn't as bad around there as the neighbor reported......

Congrats on a beauty and a great season, Bill !! It must feel good to see results from all your work on the land.;)

Thanks guys.
About 50% I'd like to claim I had something to do with.

50% was just dumb luck. But I'll take dumb luck any day when it comes to hunting.

Yea after I got all the pics my brother took, I said you'd think a guy could smile. :)

We all like each other but after a bit.....................

I hear ya. I got a buddy that I only see durning hunting season and sometimes I'm not sure what it is but I just want to slap him up side the head. You can have too much of a good thing! Still with a buck like that - I'd still be smiling!
