Both can be tough to hunt depending on the terrain and bagging a true trophy regarding either species is equally as difficult.
I agree....I've had hunt/harvest that have come very easy,and I've had them that have been extremely difficult...
It all comes to terrain that you are hunting and if you want to go that extra mile to see what lies on the horizon.....
Regardless of whether your hunting fields,alpine,quakes and aspens etc....
Or reguardless o wether you camo, wind conditions,cover scent.....etc.
A Decision must be made..Take that riskof pushing a possible trophy right country if you walk or have it walk (right over your tracks 5 minutes later).......Or sit and hold tight,hope your in the right area,in hopes that something comes to your view ......
Neither comes easy, it takeslots time in the field,than skill,to bag a trophy of either species..
Looking Back,one thing I've noticed from is that when I was younger(13-15yrs of age) and even looking through magizines now a days,wasthat when I was walking I saw an overaboundance of Big Bucks in the bush..
Hence I shot a few big ones,and thats what got my standards high at a young age....
Even looking at mags,alot of these big bucks are shot by teenagers......
Much more so than I do when I walk now....Even with scent.....
I think one possible reason was that my scent wasn't as strong as when I hit 17/18years and older ......
