Ya know....
 

If ya read this months Peterson Bowhunting Magazine..It's amazing anyone gets a quality buck anywhere. They have these critters up there with Rhodes Scholars with a nose that makes a bloodhound jealous.

They smell your trail for days/weeks just by the vegatation you crush with your boots and can basically guess your weight, better than the guy at the fair. Thus differentiating you, from other things that walk in the woods.

Article after article...basically said we have no chance!! Heck, usually I buy that mag to get pumped, after this months I feel so dejected..like who am I, to compete with SUPER BUCK! :(:eek:

Haha, i havent read that article yet. Maybe its just their way of saying be careful and dont go tromping through the woods! haha

RE: Ya know....
 

Not only that but they love every bow that they shoot. How can you love every bow.

I noticed the same thing about his past one - the other thing I notice is that when they do give helpful info, they just say the same thing over and over in each article. Let's put 6 articles into a mag and have each one say the same exact thing!

RE: Ya know....
 

Sure makes you think.

RE: Ya know....
 

Who reads the articles! Folks it's all been wrote about before. It's not like someone is going to come up with this new tactic to kill big bucks and let you know about it. Read a magazine from 20 years ago and you can learn the same stuff. Just get the new ones to look at the pictures...LOL

Look at the companies that advertise in the magazines.....that will answer all your questions.:eek:

Hunting has been more commercialized than Christmas.[&:]

LOL, good post GR8.

RE: Ya know....
 

That's not entirely true, with ongoing research we now know vastly more about the habits and "sensory equipment" of deer than those who hunted them 20 years ago. We also have more advanced technology than they did, and much better camo. We also enjoy a much larger herd. Strangely enough though, from what I've read our success rate isn't substantially higher than their's was. Go figure...;)

RE: Ya know....
 

Well that's because people shoot deer and don't spend enough time trying to find them..just kidding.LOL

Sure we are learing more about deer. But let's face it for the most part deer use there nose and ears to sense danger. The way we hunt deer hasn't really changed.Yes the products are getting better. But I can't say it's really made me a better hunter. If you're good at scouting and figuring out what the deer are doing that's what's going to make you a success. Not the high tech camo you are wearing.

Magazines seem like one big catalog full of ads to me. I won't be renewing my subscriptions to any of them.

Hunting shows are nothing more than infomercials now days.

All these celebrity hunters pushing products is more than I can stand. Micheal Waddell pushing bad boy buggies, Hoyt, scentblocker, and even beef jerky. Lee and Tiffany pushing Scentlok. Hank Parker with his stupid Cmere Deer. I can't count how many retarded Chuck Adams grins I've seen on commercials. The Block Party commercials are the worst. It just gets old after a while.

They gotta write about something!
