What do you hunt?No reason to get flamed over a monster buck. I'll bet if you tried hunting whitetail that your opinion would change. They are much smarter then you give them credit. Food plots are no guarantee of a monster buck.The next time you hear the birds and squirrels in the woods listen. They are telling you more than your picking up. I don't go to the wooods to thank who put them there. You have tremendous opportunitiesin CA. Take a look at a map and note the states that border California. Contact the game department. There are resources available that can probably help you get a what you would consider a monster. Good Luck!!
