Default RE: Does This Really Happen?

I am like you I hunt hard all year in hopes of seeing maybe 1-2 nice bucks. My average evening is 4 or 5 does maybe one buck. I had the privelige of helping move a Texas hunting guide into him and his wife's bed and breakfast they were opening not too far away. There was alot of furniture and even more deerheads. Me and the guys that helped are all local hunters and we were just in awe the entire time. He showed us videos from his leases down there. No fences, just feeders and deer. The deer down there pattern with when the feeders go off. Once in the evening and once in the morning. The deer came in like clockwork. I am not exaggerarting I promise- 10-30 bucks at one time could be seen on the screen on the video no matter where the location. I mean honestly you could see 15 bucks 140" or better at one time. I was amazed. I mean there is nothing and I mean nothing that this guy could see in the woods that would impress him after doing this for years. I am conviced that if you live in an area with a large poplulation ( Alabama, Texas, Iowa, Kansas, etc), and you have a low buck to doe ratio- 3 to 1 or better, Events like you and me have seen are common. Liw hunting pressure is another factor. Just my opinion.
