While this is true, him living on Long Island would lead me to think that's not the case. lol It sounds like to me he is just sentimental about that particular location/stand. I know exactly where he's coming from, I have a spot that holds such value to me as well. It's the stand "you're supposed to be hunting from".
Mine is on the edge of this thicket. It's a safe haven for the deer and I catch them coming out of it towards evening. I have killed maybe 6-7 deer from it, but it's a "hit or miss" location. No real consistentcy at this location. It's just one of the first spots I chose to hunt about 10 years ago. When I'm on this stand I just feel like "I'm there". It's not silly.
