I have only been hunting for a couple of years now and finally got on a lease of my own with some older guys, it was cheap due to the infestation of hogs. They told me all they have shot over the past few years were hogs. No one had hog panels around their feeders, so we decided to try putting some panels up to deter the hogs. I put my camera and feeder out a week ago and this is what came in. Needless to say for a guy that hasn't killed a Buck worthy enough for the wall, IM STOKED!




JL

Very very nice!!!

Nice deer!

Nice, that's how things go when folks KNOW what's on a place

Lol... That's what I was thinking. I told them what was on the camera and they didn't believe me. They are a great group of guys though.

need some company?

Nice deer!!

That is great, hog panels will keep more deer in the area...Don't tell the other fellers what you've got going on.

Looks like those panels made a world of difference

Good deal! Keep working that lease.

Nice find

That's a great area. Congrats on your find.

Looking good and great idea on the hog panels. Shoot some pigs while you're there too. Double bonus

Lookin good!

Them look like some real hogs to me!

There are some great deer in that area. I get the opportunity to hunt there a couple of times a year as a guest on 3000 acres. They do have lots of pigs.

JL, good looking bucks. I too hunt out west of Graham off 209. There are some nice ones that way and the key is keeping the hogs off the feeders. Before panels have had them on feeders for hours every night and once they did that, the deer that were previously there moved on..What direction out of Graham are you?

The price may sky rocket if you dont keep that under your hat, as stated above.Just enjoy the bennifits of your working knowlage and good luck.

Dont tell nobody the price might go up. Take your pick

You should have keep that info to yourself. They might end up hunting your stand when you are not there.

And remember to breath when you see them the 1st time in person

I think he was happy just to be given the opportunity to join the lease. Didn't he say that "they" decided to try out hog panels this year. What gives with all the secrecy amongst fellow hunters on the same lease? Recipe for disaster if you start going down that route especially being the "new guy" on the place.

DQ, we hunt off of 380 near New Castle.

I think I know JL personally and I was speaking to him. Not you. Nothing wrong with keeping a little info to yourself.

Sounds like you had some bad experiences in the past.

Ahhh.... No Secrets, the guys helped me put the panels up. We left two feeders open for hogs one at each end of the lease. They will still be fun to shoot, I would just like to get a wall hanger this year. I hope Im on this lease for many years to come and we can grow the buck population.

Hunter30, I definitely have the breathing down. Lol...

Actually I've had nothing but good experiences with prior leases since everything was "open" hunting and no "private" stands, "personal" stands, etc. Seeing that you know him, I agree that keeping some intel to oneself is not a bad thing.
