I have patterned deer all summer to have them dig a hole and hibernate till mid January when season is over. Smart little guys. Master...me? i don't even consider myself good. Most of the people that I know that have killed really big deer will tell you that they happened to be at the right place at the right time, luck plays a major part. You can do all the scouting, scent free, trail cam work you want, if the deer don't play along.......it humbles even the masters.
