RE: Even if you did......
Jeff I'm not arguing with you. You have alot of location threads,whats your point? There are alot of big deer in the midwest. There are alot of big bass (10lbs +)in the SE. That doesn't make my 5lb bass caught here any less of an accopmlishment in my eyes. If you want to kill a big deer, come on out, we have them behind every tree.[8D]

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!

Ok, where i hunt if you get a deer in bow range you better take the shot, Ive got some good bucks but there not in the numbers, i have one border line P & Y that i knew of last season. but its hard to even kill a doe for me.... Last year i killed 1 deer... a spike.
So let me ask this, Jeff has invited me to his place this upcoming year,(At least last i checked, correct me ifI'm wrong jeff i dont wanna sound blunt.) Now if he gives me no knowledge of where the deer are gonna be, where i should sit, what i should ware, etc.... Are you saying that my odds of killing a deer will not go up?

RE: Even if you did......
Even if you were able to hunt someone elses (HNIer) spot, could you really expect the same results? Why or why not!
One of my favorite things in hunting is figuring out new pieces of property, and to be honest it takes a couple of seasons for me to really lock it in. Mainly because I'm still hunting properties I already know well.
If you were to say ok you get five days to hunt this property. I would proably scout two and hunt three.
If I was only able to step on the land from the first day of the season I scout for at least a week,after going over topo's and ariel photo's.
If I could start scouting now for a fall hunt I'd say my chances would be greatly increased of competeing with the person on their own spot.

I don't think Jeff is gonna let ya run willy nilly around his woods stinking up the joint. I like your odds!

Can't hunt with 'em......or ask them questions......and they won't be hunting there. You'd have access to what they have access to.

honestly why would you think this thraed was a contnuation of your thread especially when Greg stated a pretty straight forward question upfront?

It didnt say "what if you", or "if you hunted on another HNI'er"...etc.

RE: Even if you did......
It really depends on the amount of time the other guy can spend on the property and how good he really is.
I would love to take 10 guys on a large piece of property none of them have ever hunted before, give them three days to scout ,and five to hunt and see what the results were the last day. Sightings and deer killed.
