I like to compare hunting mature bucks to playing a game of chess. I've read where others do so as well. When faced with having limited properties and/ or properties that are small in size, you have to make careful and calculated moves to get into position for a shot. This is even more evident when the deer know you are hunting them. I have found that they don't flee the county, but rather, they start out maneuvering you. they are the true masters of their land. It feels pretty god when you actually "win" one of the games.
Even though it's really not like playing chess at all.
But whatever.
Not literally, it's an analogy!
I'm not the only one to use this analogy. I've seen it in the "written word" in magazines more than a couple of times. Some people like the use of this analogy, some don't.....
But whatever.
