"Great response Dan- What I find funny is how we often tend to listen to a successful hunter or respected biologist and hold everything they say as Gospel."
I am just seeking some guidance and observation from the people on here....the people that know me know that I do not hold anything anyone says as gospel....like I said, I am looking for real life examples that either support or go against some of the points I brought up in my first post. I hunt hard and long in places that do not have alot of big bucks so I am always looking to just tip the odds a little more in my favor.

Brett- I wasn't singling you out by any means. My point was that all too often we look for right or wrong while out in the field. We are playing a game with too many variables and nobody will ever have all the answers. What happens in Virginia could be quite different from here in Illinois. One thing that has brought me success is listening to what has driven others to succeed and applying it to my hunts. I have found many things that work and many that haven't, but in the end I learned just as much from my failures as my success.
