Believe me, it isn't the land. We have only been hunting it for two seasons and it has produced, just not for him. My 7 years of bad luck had to do with being young and stupid. I hunted a lot the second weekend of the season on public land and I hunted diferent land every season. I could give you a milion reasonswhy my bad luckwas really a lack of skill and knowledge. I appreciate all the advice.
