I will never be the man. I couldlearn somethingfrom a guy thats been in the woods 1 day, or 30 years. I think for me its easy to decipher why I consistantly get decent bucks and some of the other guys I hunt with dont. I put hours and hours into pre season scouting includingseveral trail cams and days and days of glassing. They dont do any and have no cameras. Ialso hunt every day possible, last year I was in a stand over 80 days, the others were in stands maybe 20 or 30 days tops. 3 of the guys hunt the same exact stands for weeks, yikes. I move to different stand locations daily,to completely different properties. Even this site gives me tons of new info I learn constatntly, the other guys I hunt with never go to these kind of web sites. Their knowledge comes from TV shows, maybe some magazzinesand whatever info I give them about what bucksIve seen or have pics ofon the property, where they are coming out to feed early season etc. So I guess Jeff, its all about how much time and effort you put into it compared to other guys you hunt with in my case. I wouldbet some of the same guys would kill more deer and bigger bucks consistantly if they hunted as much as did.
