Here's a scenario, GR8.....and we'll see how "competent" you are.

Greg/MOinvites you to go hunting with him in "his" woods. You've never stepped foot into them....and you're going for the hunt in the morning. Where are you gonna set up?

That's right......RIGHT where he tells you to (general area). Now....if you take a deer, there.....who "won"? Is your level of accomplishment satisfied? Or....did you just "shoot" the deer?

If I don't have time to familiarize myself over a period of time, on a tract of land.....I'm relying on someone else to take care of the "hunting" for me. It's got nothing to do with the "security blanket" of one's honey hole. The game, TO ME, is the hunt.....and not the "shoot". It took me over a year to find the deer on the small tracts I hunt. I went to Rob's woods and sat in the general area he told me to. Where's the sense of accomplishment if I took a nice animal? Nothing against it.....it is what it is.....and I enjoyed it. BUT.....give me a 100" 8 pointer in my woods......vs. a 125" 8 pointer in Rob's......and I think you know which one I'd savor, more. The one "I" HUNTED and "I" found......and "I" set up on.

If you're hunting different parcels and you're doing your own sets.....then your hunting "your woods".
