Given my track record would yousay it is fair to conclude that there was something about hunting the sawgrass and swamps of Florida that I had trouble grasping and putting together how to get it done down there? I will admit that limitations prevented me from hunting but a handful of times while down there, but anywhere else if I put in the same time and effort inI was on deer. Hence, hunting different environments=different challenges.
Bry....the only thing I've been saying is....I think it's ludicrous to think that anyone else would have DISsimilar results than you.
I don't think it is ludicrous to think that. In fact, I'd be willing to be there are guys on this board that could go down to Florida and hit those swamps and have a deer within a week. I've also hunted with guys that look at spots that I hunt like they were on Mars, and these guys aren't dumb.
I see what you are saying about the average HNIer being more adept than average joe weekend hunter, and I agree. On the other hand, some guys just can't catch on in a new spot. It is just very difficult for them. You make it a different type of habitat and that difficulty grows quite a bit. Not for all guys, but some, and I'd bet some on here too.
There is no way I could walk out to Idaho with Shed33(without his help) and be successful.
If you check my spots in KY they are away from the hills, and that is for a very good reason. I do not understand how a deer moves on them. Huntingson and I walked two sides of a ridge, one looked great, one did not. I don't understand why that is in KY yet.
I set stands all over MI & OHfor friends and they all shot deer out of them. I am confident in setting stands in MI and Ohio with similar terrain. When the terrain changes, I am smart enough to know, I don't really know until I have hunted it a few years.
Without TFOX help in KY I would still be looking in the wrong location
