I did not see the P&Y qualifier in this question either. It was asked the same results as the person hunting. So inGMMATs case it would be multiple does and a nice buck (score??)..in Gregs case it would be a (what?) 168" buck. And so on..

Even if you were able to hunt someone elses (HNIer) spot, could you really expect the same results? Why or why not!

Read..... Expect the same results.
You could say it's based on ones hunting skills. If you want to make it about hunting mature deer, that's fine also. I think it would be fair to say that a guy who consistantly kills good bucks from his areas, year after year, has some finely honed hunting skills. There are a lot of these guys on this site. I believe that you could put these guys in anyones spots and they'd quickly learn it and have success. They may even have equal or better success than guys that are still relatively new to the sport in their own areas!

RE: Even if you did......
There are some fine deer hunters on this site. There also are some real lucky deer hunters on this site. And then there are some that don't know the difference.[:-]
There are guys that try really hard but will never get the job done,and then there are those that buy winning lottery tickets on their way to kill a great buck.
I feel the hunter is the biggest part of the equation,a great hunter is going to get it done in the worst of locations.

RE: Even if you did......
I said this all the way back on the first page BBM. This is what I'm saying.
What's the premise? That they are "successful" right off the bat? Give them a season? Two?
Given the same learning curve as the original hunter is how I'm basing my point. Do I think someone could come to my woodsand do what I do(in sheer numbers) in the first season?
Nope.
The next? ABSOLUTELY. TWO years in.....no telling what they could do.
Could they be successful, though....in that first season? Sure. we have deer numbers, here......like some have deer numbers in BIG deer. It's a numbers game.
The premise of my question was.....(original)....if you HAD to shoot a P&Y deer .......where would you think your best chance of doing that was. I'd go to the placeI thought had the most of them.

RE: Even if you did......
So you're saying you don't think anyone could come into your woods and get the same results.I'd say you'd be right part of the time and wrong the rest. There would be hunters on here that would be just as successful, maybe more so.
There could also be those that would get skunked.
Throw in the learning curve though, and the success percentage would go up.

RE: Even if you did......
i would say that if you hunt in the stands that are already up you would have similar results....
But if not, then it would take someone a while to learn the property and how the deer act on it

RE: Even if you did......
There is no doubt to kill Big Bucks you need to be where Big Bucks live, however to think that one can change their location andhave the same success as another,is a delusional assumption for many, I dont care how much time they get.
If I give 2 people the same archery equipment are they going to shoot the same scores? I think not!
It's the same with hunting no matter what State your in, there are always a few bowhunters that stand out as better at what they do, thats just the way it is.
Sure changing location increases the odds, but until you walk the walk, or done the deed, its just a dream to assume one willdo as well as some others!
Some might, Others wont.
It's why some write Books, while others spend money to read them!
