In the case of my hunting area (and moreso the areas I DON'T have access to).....my outlook is consistent. IF they're in the areas I have access to.....I think I'd see them OR get photographic evidence of their existence. I stand by that.
I think it'sa cop out to tell a man there are slammers in his woods (that he hunts).....he just isn't doing the things necessary to see/hunt them. I just think he might not have access to the areas where they are.
Are there slammers in NC? Sure ("slammer" being "relative"). Are they in the woods I hunt?
Good question. But you can't, with a straight face, say that they ARE "there". You just can't.
I wasn't saying that... I was more or less poking a little fun at you for all of your claims in the past of knowingYOUR deer andYOUR herd..... Now you admit maybe you don't know it like you used to say.
That's all.
I know my local properties pretty well... But know there are deer in my areas that I have never saw. Shed hunting proves this to me every year. No cam pics and no stand or glassing sightings.... But yet, I find their sheds.
