quality land makes a difference for sure. i agree 100%. i've seen it first hand.

No doubt.
The guy that is doing my European mount (beetle cleaned) had some sweet bucks on his wall and in his garage. Of course I got to talking with him and he goes on to say he only will shoot something in the 140 class or above. I almost spit my coffee all over his garage in laughter. I asked him where exactly he gets to be so selective. Come to find out that his family owns and strictly manages about 900 acres of land locally and only him and his 2 brothers hunt with their father. They have multiple food plots and rediculous numbers of deer. He said he sees 40+ deer every day on stand and they have some nice mature bucks for this year. Must be nice!! Makes my new "petting zoo" look like a dump
Perfect example of something mentioned earlier..........is this guy a great hunter?? I have no idea........he sure does have some great LAND though.....that is for sure!!! Anybody with enough patience to sit in a stand at his place could tag out every year and consistently take large bucks.
I know one thing for sure...........I told him if he ever wants a hunting partner I will drive, bring the coffee AND buy lunch every day
