RE: You're only as good as the property you're hunting.....?
What do you mean by "You are only as good..."??? I know guys that hunt prime spots and manage to get a dandy deer every year, yet admit that they only spent the weekend prior to season opener in the woods (mostly gun hunters). These same guys are about as worthless as tits on a boar when it comes to actually hunting unfamiliar territory.
I also know a guy that have a rough time getting access to prime spots but still grind out a respectable deer. However,he isdedicated tohis efforts and do more then just show up and wait for their next PY buck to walk past. But this guy is pretty damn good in unfamiliar woods too.
In my mind the second scenario shows a far superior hunter that does not have access to quality land. Their are plenty of hunters with more skills then others that just are not fortunate to hunting cherry spots.
The land you hunt should not define you. You actions should define you.
