RE: Do you think you're special?
My answer is "no". Not right away. I have put in an extreme amount of time for over 15 years, hunting mature bucks. During these years I have learned a lot of little intricate details of the mature buck that can only be gained with time. If a guy starts putting in the kind of time that I do, it would still take him/her 3-5 years to get up to the knowledge base that I have earned. I learned most of my lessons the hard way. There were no computors to help with knowlege sharing, nor were there any hunting shows on TV like we have today. That is why a person today can learn faster than years back.
