Default RE: Big-buck places

I think someone is snowballing you in an effort to get a crack at "your"buck
Nope..you got it wrong. Didn' t hear this from one individual just hear a lot of guys talking about it. Plus the place I'm talking about is exclusively private and only two of us hunt it. Plus if my bud snowballs me he won't be coming back. My place.

I disagree with it as well but I just wanted to see what others thought.

I myself tend to be more of the aggressive type...sometimes foolishly aggressive but it pays off sometimes. There are some areas that I would consider sanctuaries and we try our best to stay out and only hunt their edges but sometimes we're wrong and we get busted. We try to give them room so we don't bump 'em. But...I do like to get as close as possible which has been a real challenge. Last year a good eight pointer in particular was bedding down real close to a bean field and it made it difficult to hunt him in the afternoon. Didn't even hunt the area in the morning b/c there was no real way in without spooking lots of deer. I think we spooked him early b/c he wasn't seen again until gun season when he got himself shot chasing a doe.
