Do any of you know that guy?
 

The old timer that ALWAYS gets the big trophy. Just makes you wonder how they do it. Sometimes you can be hunting/fishing the same area and come up empty handed the same time they get a nice animal. Any similar experiences?

Yes I know myself.

:Dlol

My Dad was that way while I was growing up. Fishing or hunting, he filled my tag on MANY ocassions (after I failed to). He passed away almost 5 years ago now, but his last couple of hunts I filled his tag. We both got a kick out of the irony.

I know him , and I celebrate his succeses , but I have records of my own to set .

Same here. We've always hunted in hunting clubs. One of these clubs had over 60 members in it. Somehow, every year, my dad or my uncle, {sometimes both} will come out with a monster of a deer, hunting the same areas all these other people are hunting. I've had the opportunity to hunt all over the country with alot of different people. My dad and my uncle are still the best I've ever been around. They're the same way with the turkeys. My uncle never ceases to amaze me. If a turkey can be killed, he'll figure him out and he'll kill him, regardless of how many other people have been hunting the same bird, with no luck. He always knows just when to move and when to stay put. Both of them have taught me alot.

It comes down to just common sense and forget all them gimmicks that dime you to death.Heck I dont wear bought camo,I wear sneakers,eat pizza on stand .but spend hundreds of hours xcouting instead of working

Believe it or not, that would be my oldest son..now in his mid 30's who lives in SW Florida.We hunt our home state (NH) which is not the easiest state to consistently tag. The year before he left he tagged his 12th deer in 8 years. Four with a bow (only hunted with a bow 4 years) and 8 during the regular firearm season. Most impressively, all were adult bucks!

Maybe you could say he had a good teacher....;)

RE: Do any of you know that guy?
 

Of course there's also the guys who go hunting for the first time without even scouting an area or using the"proper" equipment and come back with a tropy.

RE: Do any of you know that guy?
 

yea my dad, you could put him in the strip of woods between a major highway and he would still get a nice buck. some people just have that luck

RE: Do any of you know that guy?
 

My grandfather would ALWAYS come home with a nice southernbuck. My father would get beside himself because they would go hunting and he wouldnt see anything for hours. Get back to camp and grandpaw would be sittn' there waiting on him with nothing less than a 8pt on the ground. He always said it was his lucky .308 . I thought it was all hog wash about the .308 untill I inhereited it and on my very first hunt with it killed a nice sized 8pt. I guess the lucky gun does work. It DEMANDS respect.

RE: Do any of you know that guy?
 

I know 'em. They have tons of experience. Almost like it comes easy to 'em.

Are you sure your reading the question right thereold timer??? [8D] :D :D

To answer the question... when I was growing up I had two cousins who seem toalways do well. Now days I don't really pay attention to who shoots what in my area. Too foccussed on my son and my hunting to give it much thought. Could name a few on this forum though with MOTOWNHONKEY being one of them and sure glad I don't have to compete with them in my area. Wouldn't be no big bucks left to hunt!!

They think harder than any one else and the animal appears before them where they want it to... Happens all the time to me..It's called concentration...

RE: Do any of you know that guy?
 

Yea right Tim. You knew exactly what buck you were after this year and bagged him. Thats a hunter right there. I was in a good spot hopeing and he showed up. I'm working my way up to your level friend.
