RE: For those that don't think location or numbers matter
Hmmm, sorta reminds me of something Mr. Don Higgins wrote in his book about "how much will you sacrifice to be consistent on taking mature bucks?" I know he must have said something about this, it's on the tip of my tongue. Maybe you can remember it and QUOTE it for me atlasman.[:-]

MH, yeah I know. Most of us probably wish we had that life as well. 
It sure as heck beats the poopy daipers from a little one at 4:00 AM. Although there are many more great things about kids that deer hunting will never compare to.

He's sittin back grinning like he does when he gets some ruffled feathers.. He'll be on later to quote and pastein order tokeep his legacy of distruction and distraction alive and well.
DOn't worry he'll stop in to throw some gas on the flame.
Just don't ask him about the "doe" he shot that ended up being a buck. Perhaps that was the next monster of NY ??? [:-]

If you're lucky. If you're real lucky you'll find a wife like mine that didn't gripe about me planning conception/birth around hunting season, and didn't make a big deal when one of the first things I taught my son to say was "big buck."

That was a rhetorical question.
That was a rhetorical question.
A: They are not doing it right
B: The bucks aren't there.
LOL, that is funny. I was just trying to illustrate that seasoned hunters that have great land can and do strike out too.

Now a question for you. Do you think, that by having say 4 5.5 year old bucks on a 600 acre property that they are any dumber than the one 5.5 year old that is running around your woods? If so, why?
Age alone does not make a buck harder to kill...........without the experience to make them even more leary of danger they are simply older. I have 140-150 class bucks that will stand within 20 yards of me EVERY year in my yard. They have the age but no experience to make them fear humans so they don't. Throw them out in the woods and they are dead meat before 7:30am.
