How true, I am suprised it came from a Buckeye, LOL

This past season it rained like no other. Which met no one walk back to the middle of our farm to cut wood or just screw around. I have change my stlye to "low impact hunting", I do not want the deer to know they are being hunted. I hunt around my Dad an uncles wood cutting and general walking aroundthe last 15 years.

In 2006 the farm had less pressure than it has had in 20 years. I shot big 16 where I never would have thought, I hunted that stand that night to see if I could see where he was going.

Hunting low profile is a great way to get a mature buck IMO. I will have all my stand set by end Feb, I will not enter the woods until opening day. I also have no game cameras and never will. I just do not understand walking out to wherea mature buck has been and scenting the place up. To see if he has been there. I want to see him with my top pin right in the boiler maker

My best friend said I am insane, becasue I rake the paths(7-8 steps on average) to my stands from the river. I do not want to make a peep when I enter the woods. I also am a firm believer in getting to a morning stand at least 2 hrs early.

I like this one that I coined to my Dad and unlces!!

"I have seldom seen a great stand(area) under hunted, but I sure see you guys over hunting them"
