AMEN ! You come into NJ and it all changes. Youll see monster after monster after monster on our trail cameras. Youll get in the woods and maybe see 1 in 5 that you saw on the camera. MAYBE. Its hard huntin' deer that are elusive. Thats why NJ hunters that go out West are so productive. Its a challenge though and I like it. In my personal opinion, you cant say that there is a "best whitetal hunter" anywhere.
Look at these guys that killed some of the biggest bucks ever, alot are old, hick, farts that know little about hunting and got lucky. Alot are young kids that just spent enough time in the woods to get lucky. They may never even take another respectable buck in their lives !! Then, look at some of these guys that may not have ever killed anything over 120'' or even 100'', but, they've killed 2 every year for many years !! I have more respect for THAT guy then the hick or kid that got lucky !!
How do you know that all these other guys you are speaking of know nothing about hunting?
Why are deer in NJ tougher to hunt than everywhere else?
Don't you think it is alot easier to get trail cam photo's of nice bucks than actually kill them anywhere else in the country...not just NJ?
Who are all these NJ hunters that are so succesfull out west compared to everyone else?
You made the statements so I am asking the questions...
