Time in the stand......If it aint in the right area you can hunt every day for 10 yrs and it wont help. Give me a handfull of days in the right spot over 100 days in the wrong spot - any day of the week.
Who the hell is dumb enough to hunt the wrong area every day for 10 years!?
And I'm all for the handfull of days in the right spot but come on! Isn't all of our stands in the right spot, otherwize why would we have hung them. And 100 days in the rong spots is not batting a good average!
10 yrs experience - The only use of this is if in that ten years you have LEARNED WHERE to hunt......again - stand location
Looks like you finished that one off to stay intuned to your theory!
I like your idea of being in the right tree and I don't say your rong, just that not just "A" buck but many bucks walk under many trees. I'm stittin pritty on #6 cuz If your not in the tree you think is so damn good, it won't help you a bit.
