Without a doubt,the greatest investment that I've ever made in my deer hunting was the day Irealized that to consistently kill BIG bucks....... I had to hunt where the BIG bucks live! I gave up on my own property in NC, Which has always had potential,but no QDM would work because I could not keep the poachers and dog hunters(sic)off the land.....So,I now concentrate all my deer hunting energy(and money)on quality midwestern outfitted hunts. Now,I take trophy class bucks every year and enjoy quality hunting experiences without the hassel...... Instead of spending my time and money scratching around for a place to hunt....I just write a check,show up and get in the stand. All the scouting and trail cam work has been done. Food plots are kept to a fair-the-well,and you just enjoy the hunt. BTW,these are all well managed,LOW FENCE operations with a proven track record of producing quality bucks year in and year out...... I am not an eletist. I'm just a guy who loves to deer hunt,and got tired of not seeing good bucks. I certainly have all the respect in the world for the guy who spends every spare moment working on improving his property(leased or owned)..... that was me ten years ago,and it just was'nt working. BTW,if the outfitters I hunt with were to ever catch you in a stand without a saftey harness,they'd ****** you off the property(without a refund I might add),and you would not be invited back. Best of luck this year to everybody.
