RE: For those that don't think location or numbers matter
I know a man in his late 80's who has a beautiful piece of property with some nice bass ponds on it, full of big bass. One day a visitor came through, and was commenting on how nice the property was. The man stated, "Rufus, the Lord sure has been good to you, giving you this nice property." To that Rufus replied, "Yes, he has, but you should have seen it when he gave it to me. We have worked on it together."
Even where there are alot of big bucks, there aren't that many, percentage-wise. It still takes huge amounts of work and effort. If I'm going to work at it that hard then I'm also going to go where my odds are the best. Stands to reason, don't it? If I'm not trying to make things better, then I am part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Yeah, it makes a difference where you hunt. But all a man can do is do the best he can with what he has, whatever that is.
