You cannot kill big bucks by filling your tags with does and little bucks

You cannot kill a deer from your stand if you aint in it (meaning huntin the wind, the rain, the heat etc)

In contrast you in most cases have to shot does, to get the population in check. Hunting mature deer will be hard when you see 20 does to one buck.

Hunt the wind. I don't care if your garments say your scent free. You are not, unless you are in a bubble. You cannot kill a mature deer today (Not hunting), but your not going to waste your time and ruin hunting on other "better" days. Never hunt a stand with a bad wind.

You can't shoot deer laying asleep in your warm bed.

You have to hunt where mature bucks are to shoot a mature buck.

If you dont put in the time, you wont get to touch the tines.

In "trophy" hunting I've found that the words NEVER and ALWAYS simply do not apply.

"don't just talk about it........ BE about it, practice what you preach"

success is where hard work, persistence, and luck meet

Pay attention to detail

Stay ahead of the game and be flexable.

You'll have plenty of time for naps when your dead. Go hunt!

Always pattern and hunt more than one buck! Your not the only one hunting them.

Keep the Faith brotha!!!!Dont give up or slow down!!!!
