Some of us don't buy the "How to kill trophy buck" books because we want it to be easy to kill trophy bucks. Some of us don't really give a rat's ass about killing trophy bucks but we DO care about becoming better deer hunters. We buy these "trophy" books to gain insight into becoming better deer hunters because we think the author, if he can kill trophy bucks, can certainly give us the information to become better deer hunters.

For some of you to say we don't have the same desire or the same discipline as a trophy hunter is BS in my book. We have every bit as much desire and discipline as you "trophy" hunters but perhaps we are satisfied to be a good deer hunter. We sit in foul weather as long as you do, get up just as early, stay just as late,are just as patient as you and work just as hard as you do. To imply otherwise....

As far as the derogatory public land statement, that just shows a lack of knowledge. To assume everyone's public land hunting is similar to yours in ILL is ignorant at best.
