My "experience" with mature bucks is......I've been hunting a little over 2 years and I've killed 2 of 'em. Rocket science this isn't......no matter how much "mystique" you wanna give these animals.
Mystigue? Jeff, weren't you the guy who went on and on about how mature bucks are "different" Didn't you nickname "your" buck "The Bull" I'm sorry but you seem hypocritical here.
Face it your experience is limited in comparison. You have had success in your first two years......congrats. Consistently killing mature whitetails you have not done.Not many have. Greg has.
No, deer hunting is not rocket science, but it also is not what you make it out to be in many cases. If it's no that challenging to you anymore.....after 2 years........whyare you still hunting with $1,000+ state of the art equiptment? Why not take a step back an challenge yourself? Go traditional? Hunt from the ground?
As for the thread, it appears that Mature Bucks do get spooked even with IR. I think Greg's method makesa lot of sense.
