Good points^^ Plus factoring the option ofusing bait where legal, food plots, decoys, trail cams, calls, urines, release vs. fingers, scentlock vs. none, let off % of bow....the list of choices to aid in taking a mature deeris endless. Where to draw the line is a personal preference.
Even using all the tricks in the book, bagging a mature buck seems to take many man-hours of dedication, lots of money, a little bit of luck, or a combination of all.
I agree completely, there are a many many factors that make up a hunt as to it's difficulty level. I was just breaking it down for the sake of conversationwith an"all things being the same" type of scenario if you will....something to chew on.
