I really don't listen to many of the "experts".
For me...
#1) There are no hunts filmed in NH, so the style of hunting tends to be different.
#2) Most of their filming is done on guided hunts, which is other peoples land, and that means they didn't do their own scouting.
So to make a good "story/dvd" they tend to juice up the hunt to keep us interested.

I like to go to a few local shops and talk to the consistant deer hunters for real advice for the areas I hunt.
