RE: Meat/Trophy Since we're on the subject..
Another good example Buckeye.
I have hunted mostly battlefields my whole life. I hunt with too many people to get permission on private land. I could hunt A LOT of private land around here alone..........but when I tell them I have 4 or 6 other guys that I hunt with they all say that's too many.
Oh well.........I won't abandon my hunting buddies and family for a better spot.
So this year my friend gets permission to hunt a farm near our homes. I tell him that I will go there with him only if no one else wants to hunt that day because he only got permission for us 2 guys.
We went a bunch of times for half days and stuff when my brothers were working and we went during bow season.
I saw more deer and more bucks on that 100+ acres of land in 2 weeks then I have seen in the last 4 years anywhere else. I had 4 different bucks within bow range in one morning. Nothing you would shoot but I did. I took a 6 pointer in October........earliest I have EVER filled a tag. We saw plenty of deer and a ton of bucks. At one point in time in my stand I did think to myself "This is too easy" and I can't even imagine how easy it will be come gun season.
I also hunted the battlefields for 16 days this year.............saw one deer. A doe and she was getting away from someone else.
They are TOTALLY different worlds Buckeye.
