RE: Penny for my thoughts?? Heres a dollars worth!
I've read this thread like 4 times and I still don't understand half of what I've read.
But I will greatly agree that hardwork and commitment are the 2 of the 4 main ingredients to getting it done on older whitetails. Intelligence is the third. Location is the FIRST. Despite what many spout. Incidentally... insecurity is a stinky cologne. I'm just sayin... |

Right now time is what I do not have, and I have to admit I need to find a better place to hunt. It's just not what it use to be, it's hard to admit. Like I posted before about my kids and family life. It has taken a big chunk of what time I used to have. Today was my 14 sit in a tree, 14 I used to do that first two weeks. One things I love to do is spend time with my kids, one thing that frustrates me is time I lose for my kids. Some will understand this, some won't, but I sure have learned it the hardway. |

I know in my heart that when children start running the floors of my home.. I won't want to be anywhere else. Until they get older of course and become wise arses like their ole' man.:D |

Duke you are correct, but in back of your mine, you'll be some place else;)

Germ,
I feel you brother. I've logged a few more sits than you, 16 or so. Like you, I have 3 small children at home and a wife that works full time. My life is hectic enough how it is. I've decided to take the first nice buck that comes by me. It still hasn't happened. Sometimes real life is bigger than our dreams. ;) Our time will come when these little one's are up and grown. I'll be a sold out trophy hunter then :D |

DC,
I have one on the way (my first) and I know I am gonna spend WAY less times in the woods the next few years simply because I know I am not going to want to be anywhere else!! |

Despite what many spout. Incidentally... insecurity is a stinky cologne. I'm just sayin... I feel like im fairly intelligent. I'm learning the game on whitetails "OK". I've sat SIVXTY-ONE times, now....and I haven't made it happen on a buck. Could I have shot "a" buck? Sure. I've been working hard and staying committed. That leaves your number one. I'll admit something here, publicly.... There are more bucks here than I previously thought. the ratio's better than I once thought. But I've seen four 2.5 yr olds and probably one 3.5yr old in that many sits....and I'm hunting where bucks should be (spurred by some pretty accomplished hunters;)). It could all fall into place next hunt....and I'm leaning on that every day. I had a great sit this evening. I saw 7 does and 2 small bucks. Could have just as easily been a shooter.....but they weren't. They went at it pretty robustly fora couple of young spikes, though!:D Tonight I went looking for does....and I found them....AND I got what I was after......bucks trailing them. They just weren't the "right" bucks. I go back to work Monday.....and my time will be limited, again. So be it. This year's been a HUGE success! I have learned a TON, so far. I also learned I don't ever wanna hunt this much or this hard, again. I can't handle it. "Balance";) |
