2) Consistently take a quality buck from YOUR woods?
I have more invested emotionally in "my woods". All the work and sweat involved makes me savor any bow kill I get each year in the woods I hunt. If I travelled to a different state and hunted with a guide or a friend telling me where to hunt, then I would begin to question whether my skills were good enough or not..I don't want to have to rely on someone else's work to put me on good deer, I want to work hard and do it myself. That being said, if any of you would like to invite me out to hunt your unpressured farms next year.......I WOULD SAY YES in a second
