Mature bucks only travel with their nose into the wind
Good one Buckeye.
Often I read many articles I totally and completely agree are pure garbage. It's like someone wrote a book 30 years ago with the same tactics everyone knows.. and all the outdoor writers of today simply recycle it.. choosing their own words. I doubt many even believe the tactic works and it comes out in their writing.
On the better writers.. it's not that the tactics don't work.. it's that they leave so much out that ticks me off. They forget about their target audience.. they forget and leave out the most detailed portion of the entire tactic. I know we've all read those articles where it just seems like somethings missing.
Most outdoor writers know very little of the true behavior of deer.. they simply agree and recycle everything else ever written before them. Deer have a forehead gland is my favorite. For those who wish to know.. deer do not have a forehead gland.. they have sweat glands in the forehead which give off the odor only during certain times of year... but you'll never read that one. Because its easier to understand and write deer have a forehead gland. Talk to your taxidermist he'll back me up.
Their are so many variables in hunting and they start and end not at each state or county line.. but rather each property line. The greatest piece of info. you'll ever read will be a piece.. or a tactic that you can actually use on your property. So you must learn to brush the garbage away.. or keep it for another day. (can't believe i just rhymed.. what a dork).
