To tell you the truth, I am not sure where I fit in on the poll. I feel I know a lot about deer. I pass on a lot of bucks every year trying for the top end bucks for my area but seldom take one. To kill a deer is not rocket science asJeff saysas I could fill my tag the first day. To fill that same tag on a top end buck is a whole other story. I don't get much time to hunt early in the season when they aren't pressured too bad. When I do get time to hunt the big boyshave beenpressured hard. The taskon killing the latteris flustrating, humbling and usually fruitless. I still have a long ways to go before hopefully become consistant in taking a pressuredtop endbuck every year.

Best guess for the poll...

Deer - advanced
Pressured big boys-head banger !! But love every minute of it !!

I put above average simply because as Germ said I can pretty much go anywhere and put myself on deer. Now mature bucks is another story. Until I can regularly put myself on the biggest deer in my area I can't sayI am anything more than a little above average. That is where you get to the advanced level and I believe there are some guys on this site that are at the highest points ofthat level and I try to pay attention to their posts at every opportunity. I don't believe there is an "Expert" in the world by the definition given in this poll. There is alway something more you can learn.

Schultzy, I think you sell yourself short. Your choice of equipment and commitment to knowing you limits with that equipment are the only thing that has kept some of the deer you have seen alive. The fact that you can get as close as you do to deer of that caliber on a regular basis means you know the mind and habits of mature whitetails very well. Now, it's just a matter of picking the right tree.
