I think this happens a lot. Someone goes into a new area and climbs a tree not knowing that they are actually in the perfect spot. I think a lot of deer are killed by accident. The key to becoming a consistant trophy hunter is to learn how to kill them on purpose. Maybe someday I'll start doing this.

I agree, and I have an experience to prove it,regarding setting up in a staging area and not knowing it.
The biggest buck I ever had walk past me was late October before I hunted beast style. I just strolled into an area and set-up .No scouting ,no thinking, no planning. And out walks a 140 + swamp buck. That spring I found Dan ,and his tactics. Went back in there to try and figure it all out. I found his worn down bed, and only 2 rubs. But HUGE rubs. I had inadvertedly picked a huge bucks staging area,without even knowing it. Crazy looking back on it all now. I still always think back to that huge buck. Hoping another might take over his bed. But it,s now a dead bed .
