Heck I've hunted circles around Lee in MN and I was doing it on crappy bigwoods public way up north. Not that I couldn't learn a ton from him if I was managing land in Iowa but other than that I doubt any of his input gets me on pressured deer where us common folk hunt. The reason we are all here is because Dan gets it done on pressured public land, those tactics have a ton of value to myself and others around the country.
Great post. I think anyone that knows and understands hunting big bucks would have to agree. Make no mistake, they know land management, food plots and game cameras (read or heard they run 100 cams) better than most. You can't learn to sail a ship on dry ground. That salt is gained/earned out at sea.
