I am going to say that intelligence makes up for lack of experience, but experience doesn't make up for lack of intelligence. So you use itelligence until you have experience then with your powers combind you are............ CAPTAIN........ DEER HUNTER!!!!!

Tell us about your experience, LT....and how you use that to get the job done.
Give examples....and real numbers.
You might be on to something, Pope.

RE: What's more important in the whitetail hunter's arsenal?
Jeff, I have not the stories to tell. I take that from my Dad I guess. I will not brag over game I have taken. I have very few pics because of this. Not an excuse, I am just being honest.
As for numbers, (I'm guessing) I probably have taken approx 30 deer in my life. I hunted from around 6 years old till I got married at 20. I took a 15 yr break from any and all hunting.
Since I started back, I have taken around 7 deer. I do not have any trophy bucks as for what some would call trophy bucks. I have trapped, hunted, fished, and just about everything else a person could do outdoors in Louisiana.
I use everything I know and whatever else I can learn from others. Just like you Jeff.Sorry if this is not what you were looking for.

RE: What's more important in the whitetail hunter's arsenal?
Given the two options, I would have to take experience.
To me, intelligence means a knowledge of deer, the woods, ect. But one thing that I have learned from hunting deer for the past 12 years is that can all be a mute point at times. Deer do some crazy things and sometimes do the exact opposite of what logic or any articles/books say they should do. This is where the experience wins out. A mix of both experience and intelligence to actually use what you have experienced is the best way to go.

RE: What's more important in the whitetail hunter's arsenal?
23 deer between the ages of 6 and 20 is nothing to sneeze at.
You had 14 years of experience hunting (using your numbers) between the ages of 6 and 20.
Again....nothing to sneeze at.
Do you think you'd be a better whitetail hunter if you'd picked it up at 20 and hunted those 14 years?
Same "experience"
