yep, they are pretty famous for tracking deer.

I dont know how successfull tracking can be in some areas.But I do know some guys that have hunted in the adirondacks and been very successfull.
I know one guy (an old timer)that has 177 racks in his house and everyone of them is atleast 17 inches wide with the majority of them being far bigger than that.

I also know another old timer that had 223 racks in his house, most of them being from very old mature deer.

Both of these men were trackers in the adirondacks and only used rifle. (i dont know how some of those old timers got so many deer if they were only issued 1 tag per year....( but everyone knows that thats how things happened most of the time back then.)

I know also of some men a little bit closer to my house that are successful also. And they are all very consistant hunters.

Heck, I remember when I was at my taxidermist's getting a deer processed, and a "local legend" brought in his 13th deer of the season, and the season still had a week to go. In the past 9 years I have seen this particular hunter bring in atleast 6 deer each year (every year). And he holds the record for bringing in the most deer shot by 1 hunter in 1 day (7) deer in one day!!!!!

Whenever I mention any of these guys names around my area, these men are like legends. (all being old timers.) I am so glad that I was taught to hunt by one of these legends (who is also an old timer) He taught me things that I never can read in books. He also taught me how to make my own deer scents and some pretty interesting coverscents with certain formulas.

Alot of times I think that I will never be as good as any of these old timers that I know, but I sure do wish that I could be. (maybe someday)
