RE: Even if you did......
Yes. I think so.
You take two guys hunting similarly (both staying clean....playing the wind......hutning similarly sized parcels).....
What would lead someone to believe that they wouldn't have similar results?
This question could easily be applied to the woods I hunt. I kill a lot of deer.....for several reasons.....but one being (and this is the most important).....there are a lotof deer, here. I don't kid myself into thinking otherwise.
So.....if most anyone from the boards here came to my woods......could they do what I do every year?
Most certainly. It isn't rocket science.
I used the example of Matt/PA and Rob/PA a few months back. Rob has never harvested a 100" deer. Matt took (well...what we THOUGHT was a P&Y) his first GREAT (congrats) buck this past fall. These two guys have a TREMENDOUS amount of whitetail knowledge.....but they;'re bound to the places they have access to.
Jay Gregory said a few weeks ago......"A hunter is only as good as the ground he hunts"
To think otherwise......is kind of like saying....."I kill more/bigger deer.....not because they're more plentiful.....or because I have better odds.......no....it's because I'm a better hunter than you".
Isn't it???
