You aren't getting it!
What I'm trying to point out is you have to see what you plan to kill if you want to kill it!
Don't except the fact you if don't have conections or don't own property find the way on
Look around and scout your county and/or state.
I did this for the first few years in. I saw deer and the ocasional P&Y but it didn't satisfy me. I talked and connected. I can shoot a deer every time out. I don't get a chance to see a 160 class everytime but I expect to.
There is my origonal qoute. If you read then, it's pretty clear to what I mean. I have no dog in this hunt. I can hunt every year and be happy. I came on this because I thought others share the pasion of killing huge deers.
I don't have a huge deer to my credit yet but I will. When I do you bet I will post it. I have pass on one shot because I wanted to recover that creature. I didn't take the shot on the others because it wasn't there. I have seen many many huge deer but out of bow range. They run in the areas I hunt and they are there regularly runing around 30% of the time. If the finacial responsibility didn't get in the way or the wife, I would have one hanging now. You have to hunt where the are and get it.
You can believe this or think I'm full of BS. I don't you all and you don't know me. I don't have a dog in this race other than to let you know that such areas exsist in your areas. LOOK AROUND. When I travel in the states that I do I'm always looking for signs. Mostly around the resisdential areas. I have seen a lot. More then you would believe. I personally believe the next record in the states I have hunted and the ones I have scouted will come from resisdential areas. I will admit the area I hunt is so over run with deer it's not funny. Some of the other areas are as well. Any one hunt in Ohio? Worthington is a prime place. I haven't seen many deer in the country but, the residential area hold some biggins.
If you think I might be telling the truth check it out. Robinhood36 understands but I don't want to put words in his mouth. You first find your deer and then fiqure out how to hunt them. I won't spell out how to gain access but that is part of the hunt in it's self. You would be surprise to know how many home owners are fed up with the deer. They are a nuisance and health hazard.
