well again, there is no issue here in Va about whether or not we have big bucks...we do, and we have them in almost every county in the state, some counties have more, but overall, Va has big bucks state wide...I can hunt here in the eastern portion and I also hunt in the western portion, and I still can't get it done with a bow!! It's not for a lack of big bucks, it's not for a lack of effort, it's simply ME not being good enough to out smart them..so what Im trying to do is learn as much as i can about big buck behavior....and Im trying figure out if reading an article that a guy in IL or IA writes about big bucks is going to help me at all...does it apply to Va?? Are the deer using funnels, and draws, and "doe" bedding areas here in Va?? or am I wasting my time listening to these guys...keep in mind, I have hunted Va for 20 yrs and have taken very good deer with the gun, a few decent bucks with the bow, but I have P&Y right under my nose every year and can't even lay my eyes on one...Im trying to learn...
