Refusing at all costs to let the deer you're after WIN!

Stanley had a good response to the question a couple of years ago:

"Beast style is mobile and moving. If you have a stand in hand and have a buck located or patterned you set up and kill him. I also think most interpretations associate beds and bucks. The hunter puts himself into a position to kill a buck rather than the buck putting himself into a position for the hunter to kill him."

The very typical approach for most the find this site is to often become close minded and feel the only way to hunt mature bucks is by beds. There are so many ways in which it can be done. Bedding is key, but most importantly what I've learned is that daylight moment patterns is what is helping me kill bucks. Doing what it takes as you said Muddy is where it separates the doers from the talkers. Preparation, motivation, dedication, and keeping your options open to what has to be done going through extra mile has proven to me it kills bucks I'm after.

Paying attention to the details, doing what others don't, making a plan and executing instead of relying on luck 8-)

Putting 110% into deer hunting, and never selling yourself short.

Being a beast is an attitude. How you carry yourself in the woods. Going in to kill a deer. Not going in hoping to kill a deer.
