I never did say that.....and never have.

I've never made this "about" anyone, personally. But.....let's take a hypothetical big buck hunter from....."Iowa"....with 14 P&Y's under his belt in 16 yrs. How many do you think he'd have under his belt if he'd been hunting Florida.

You guys can try to pit this and me against (________).....but I made a generic statement that.....really....if you use common sense....can't be argued.

THE most important ingredient in being able to kill big bucks......is LOCATION. It's got NOTHING to do with anyone in particular. It's a FACT. The greatest hunter in the world can't kill something that isn't there.

No...it doesn't hurtthat you're dedicated anda good hunter. I've never discounted that. Ever. it's just not THE most important factor.

Failing to acknowledge location as the most important factor is a slap in the face to GREAT hunters all over the countrywho hunt where they're NOT. It's no slam on ANYONE. It's just a fact.
