I agree with you, the guides at the ranches know where the deer bed, where they eat, etc. and know roughly within an hour of when all that takes place. Definitely alot of homework done for the customer.
As far as Tred... From what I know he suffered some sort of disorder affecting his spine or spinal cord. I don't know all the details, maybe someone else on here could help with that. He was a true sportsman and definitely didn't do things the easy way unlike the majority of today's Pro-motional Hunters.
