Excellent point buckmaster, watchingBill Jordanand the boys set up on an bean field and the only funnel for 1300 miles waiting on Stickers seams easier than a chance sightingof him during the rut. At least at that time of yearyou can have a general idea of wherehe is going to be.

RE: If you're a trophy hunter and...
Duke...If you read my post again it says I hunt for "MY" trophy and that is a deer I would mount. I do not do the age thing..Mature or not. I shoot deer that I would pay someone to mount and put on my wall. In Georgia I have let several 120 ish and a few pushing 130 go. It did not strike me at the time as a deer I would mount...If you go online and check out Georgia Outdoor News you will see guys selling out for a 130" deer...spotlighting, baiting, tresspassing...that is why I stated deer they would sell their kids for...not to pose as a guy letting booners walk every other week. With all the knowledge you share on a regular basis the elitist attitude always keeps "me" from seeking advice.
And NO.. I am certainly NOT an elitist. I rarely even give advice.. unless asked via PM. I read others responses much more than I give my own.. simply because I think it would be arrogant of me to give advice on hunting whitetail.
I simply enjoy humor much more than most.. whether dry or hysterical. I just though that sentence you posted was funny. Nothing more.
If anything.. I could be considered elitist about my sense of humor. I'm a ball buster.. it's what I do.
No harm.. no foul. But you gotta admit.. it was an elitist.. and yet a humorous statement that you made and I quoted. Was it not?

I think it would be cool if we could (and would) answer all these questions without fear of stepping on someone's toes.

Here's a non-toe-stepping statement that is neutral, fair, and factual:
If you drop something from your treestand, gravity will pull it down. If a doe drops estrous urine, a buck will pick it up. Those are mother nature's laws. I'm not making it up.
Killing a buck not on drugs and not running retardedly through the woods is more difficult, PERIOD! I don't understand why that's so hard to accept, admit, or understand.

The only place I'm going is to bed..I'm getting up at 4:30 am, so I can put in 8 hrs, worktomorrow and then drive 2 more hours to catch the last 2 hours of daylight from a treestand and then hunt all day Saturday up at camp.
You boys have fun with your scenerios..and remember..
YOU'RE ALL SPECIAL !!
Nighty Night!

How comemore big slammers have gone down in Oct so far in our contest? I would be willing to bet (and I personally hope I am wrong) that the contest big buck winner is already on the board.

RE: If you're a trophy hunter and...
Touche Duke...I am sorry for taking you the wrong way. As we discuss the rut I am not really in good sorts right now...I am getting my @## kicked daily. You are very correct in that my original statement could have very well been taken in an elitist manner. Sorry for that...and I should have worded it better. Thanks for the help and now I guess I can PM you and ask a certain question about a #@*#@ old warrior who likes to show me how big he is from 50 yards[:@]every couple days.
