iowa whitetail wrote:I just want to make it clear to everyone Im not hear to change anyones minds about anything to do with hunting. If you read the first sentence i wrote it said (I was asked to write this) so I did. One of the things I believe about hunting these whitetails and being a killer is confidence.If you think bed hunting will work or is working for you than do it cause if you dont believe than it will not work cause you will be moving and looking at your watch and hating that you never see anything. As for the people who think i kill bucks cause I live in iowa, come hear lets see what you got. You might shoot a big old buck but can you do it more than once do you have the skill,the patience to practice good mang. and let him go, to spend every spare chance you get? Maybe you can. Its not about me being touchy its about me being asked to write this so i did and have fought off bed hunters the whole time witch is fine with me i knew it would happen and i have said that if your going to state your opinion you better be ready for whats comeing so the arguing with me didnt bother not one bit I was nice to everyone but
when you attack because you feel your theory is on life support that turns the table a bit. To be honest I was mad and would have never posted all them just cause im not the kind to brag the only reason i ever posted a pic was to try to prove my point. Sorry if i ever was to aggresive. Good luck to all
I say we quit talking about you not wanting to bed hunt. I think everyone understands now you have no use for bed hunting. Put that to rest. The Beast site is not about beating up the new guy. Lets talk more about how you have killed a buck in past years. I think everyone would enjoy a tutorial put together by you.
You could post an early trail cam picture of the buck you killed and walk us through your procedures & how you hung him on the wall. Visual aids with topos of the land where you killed him and how you planned it, set up on him and killed him. Your scent control regimen, your approach to and from the stand. Encounters with the buck that didn't/did work. Walk us through your style, what you look for, how you do it. Time of day, date of kill, weather conditions, wind direction and thermals, all this stuff leads to a good story.
Most of the guys have done this type of tutorial. This is what the Beast site is about, not all the bickering. I realize it is a big change for some guys that come on this site from other sites that are not very well managed (not pointing a finger at you).
Teaching others what you know and they can learn is why the Beast site is the best hunting site on the planet.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.
