The Benoits tend to get it done in Maine.
Jim Roy in West Virginia.. etc.
And there are lots of hunters in between who get it done in otherwise lesser locations.
I'm not saying location isn't a HUGE factor.. cause it is.
But you are always FIRST to point this out. Wonder why?
Which means.. only one of two things.
But I'll leave it at that.
And I never said anything about myself.. I'm simply stating your own estimations of deer hunting and "big bucks" are wrong in my opinion.
But now you're into relatives. The deer the Benoits shot won't hold a candle to the average deer from the corn belt. The Benoits are shooting better than the average for the area. That's it. It can't compare to the midwest. Now throw in all the DEER FARMS where they bring in breeders and have food plots and spend thousands to grow a big rack, it's all relative I'd take a Benoit deer any day to the next Mega buck from Tecomate. I'd takea nice 8 point from NY public land before I'd thump my chest over a Tecomate Buck.It's all relative. Jim Roy shot A buck.
OH, and wait a minute. I just read your post again. I think you're saying something about I don't shoot any big deer. My my .... you just have no idea do you? I've shot deer much bigger than most hope to. I shot deer when there were hardly any deer. I shot deer before you were born. You really questioning my ability to hunt. Now that sir is really really small. I've shot deer. Those who know me will attest to that... they're here on the board if they haven't been driven off by the Groupies. It's just that some here find it easy to think they're the only ones. Pathetic. I say location is a huge factor simply because some people get on here and act as if they're the God of the woods when all they really have is a target rich environment. Hell look, Tiffany the blonde bimbo became an over night expert along with Lee the guy with the money to buy it all. I don't play head games.... I call them as I see them. Sorry if it hits close to home.
