I think alot of it has to do what state you hunt in. I live and most of my hunting is in PA not considered a big buck state like Il,WI,Ka.Io. ect. The antler restrictions are starting to work and Bigger bucks are starting to come out of PA.Most of the guys on this site are seasoned hunters who know scent controll,play the wind, stand placement, scout hard, read maps and know the whitetail habits ect! If you put them in a area that has more big bucks then their state I think giving time the would do just as well. I hunted Il 2 times and I seen more big bucks in the 12 days then the 36 years I been hunting in PA. I hunted with a outfitter in Il and the hunting was slow. I asked my guide if I could maybe do some scouting on my own. Much to my suprise he said yes. I scouted for a day and found a great looking spot and set up a stand. The next day I shot a nice 10pt . and my buddy hunted that spot on the last day of the hunt a missed a monster from there. I know luck played a big part but so did knowing what to look for. So I think most of the hunters on here could do well anywhere they hunt in due time.
