How I've killed some nice deer...

[John146]

"Hunt the way that makes you happy."

This is paramount to success and more importantly our definition of success.  I am convinced that people rob themselves of a large dose of enjoyment in hunting by hunting in a manner that does not suit their personality. With all the "how to" instructions out there it is easy to start emulating a "style" of hunting that does not fit who you are.

The balance between wanting to kill a deer and the way that gets done can sometimes be the hardest balancing act of all.

I appreciate your sharing your thoughts brother and congratulations on a great buck!! THANK YOU JESUS!

I'd rather be lucky than skilled any day.  My brother is one of those types.   The first big buck he killed over 160 he walked up on while it was asleep.

Back when I worked for a leasing company, there were always a lot of business phrases in vogue. One of them was "Be brilliant at the basics". It sounds like that philosophy is very much a part of your hunting strategy.

You just summed up my approach, and what should be everyone's approach to not only hunting but life!!!!!!!!!

Good advice!

We do grow them big here! My dad has a 173" 11 and a 186" 8 pt (yes, you read that right). He's a recurve-only guy as well. [/b]
