Hey Troy,

I was really just in shock at the descriptions of all those big bucks. I didn't mean to sound like
one of those guys that thinks that "some guys have it easy."

I recognize that finding a bunch of monster bucks out in the middle of nowhere (on public
land no less) takes skill, dedication, and hard work.
Will not taken that way.. the video I get really helps me to break them down to a "t"....Big forests out here.. lower deer densities..scouting is very crucial to a bowhunter of whitetails success..bout it..anyone could do it if they have or make the time and put in the effort.. over time, like with anything else, your skill levels increase and you make far fewer mistakes in the process..

Gary, yup behind all the rocks..and all the trees.. You know Gary I can't imagine not being able to use binocs. Here it's thicker than all get out in Northernpart of Idaho,but the logging practices opensup parcels ofthe canopyand the steep terrain allows one to glass for miles in some cases and knowing what habitat to glass during certain times of the year is crucial too..

I would have my work cut out for me in aflat thick forest land. I am sure you guys become excellent at deciphering sign. Here it's pretty nice to be able to keep an eye on a buck from 1000 yards and he has noidea you are watching him.No impact. Often is the case though that by the time hunting season opens, the daylight has dimished an hour from late July and you still are forced to kill him back in the dark timber.. but glassing definately is a huge starting point of ambush.

I do envy the more consistent wind currents of flatterground. When I was out with Tim in ND..I was amazed at the winds abilty to be fairlyconsistent. It was a nice change of pace.. There are no trees there though! chit..we all have our obstacles..

I believe anyone that hunts pressured critters in any enviroment with a bow..has to work at it to consistently kill.. Here the hunters pressure quite a bit, 2 month long rifle season right through the rut..etc.. but the real pressure and educator of whitetail bucks here are the mountain lions, wolves, coyotes and bears.. I give them 75% of the credit for conditioning very skittish and wise old bucks.. 25% to the hunters..
