LOL! Thanks - but the point I want to make is this...

1) I'm no better hunter than anyone here - but I TRY and hunt what time I DO have HARDER and smarter! I read all kinds of hunting mags - but the BEST teacher is GETTING OUT IN THE WOODS. I TRY and learn something new every time I go out - and many times thats been thru missed shots, spooking deer, making some stupid mistake. But that is how you learn what works and what doesn't!

Read stuff from the Wensel Brothers, Nugent, Nordberg, Fudducia, Trout, etc. I learned most of what I know the hard way. Years of hunting blindly with little regard to the DETAILS! My bro-in-law used to laugh at me for using non-scented soaps, and Tink's 69 religiously - until I started CONSISTENTLY harvesting nice 10's, 8's, 6's, etc. EVERY year. I don't say that to brag - and I don't trophy hunt either. But, I hunt as SMART as I can.

I am ALWAYS trying to improve myself in the woods. I shot my bow A LOT in my own yard. I know my limits.
