That depends on what you consider being a good hunter. If you consider a good hunter one who always takes 145"+ bucks then yes finding good location is necessary. All of the hunters that you read about that consistently take bucks of this caliber have moved around until they have found these locations.

Others will contend that a good hunter is one that consistently takes the biggest bucks in their area. That may be 120" deer. Either way you need to know what you are doing once you've got boots in the woods regardless of location if you want to take the biggest bucks in the area whether it be 120" or 180".

Around here there are plenty of pictures of 140" deer taken. They are pretty rare on the properties I have access to, but I'm working on moving on to get some access to better properties. There are some 160"+ deer around, but they are extremely rare. As Greg said earlier, the air is pretty thin at that level.
