Where I mainly hunt in east Texas, a 120 class deer is GREAT. Yes, there are some 130-150 class deer in the woods, but they are few and far between and pretty much ghost-like. I have been using camtrakkers for about 5 years as a scouting tool. Some people don't like camtrakkers under the premise they make hunting too easy. I hunt ALOT and got pictures of 5 bucks this year in the 120-130 class, but I never saw a single one with my eyes. My brother and I have 3 cameras between us on our 650 acre place and check and move them regularly. My son killed a 118" 10 pt that we had NO pictures of. He killed him with in 30 yards of a cornfeeder walking through a food plot where a camera had been for more than a month. Where did he come from and had he ever been there before or was he just in the wrong place at the wrong time?
I agree with IL-Cornfed that the gadgets mentioned by the first poster are over the edge of ethical in my book, but even with all the high tech gear in the world, hunting is and always will be ALOT about LUCK. As I said before, I hunt ALOT and have killed some nice deer in my 21 years of deer hunting, and both of my sons have killed a nice deer apiece in their short hunting careers. Even with camtrakkers, corn feeders, and food plots, we have to spend time in a deer stand. Even spending HOURS in a deer stand, the deer have to move through the area where we hunt in the daylight and within range. Hunting maybe easier than chasing game down with rocks and spears, but hunting is still not easy.
These are mine and my youngest son's deer for 2004. Both were our best bucks ever.
