Just gonna offer my advice if some reader finds themselves in my situation. We can’t all take off of work, buy non resident license, spend gas to travel to all 4 corners of the earth. In such cases I don’t feel I’m at a disadvantage. In fact I believe home court advantage was named for a reason. I will be the first to tell ya I am likely to get dusted in every other counties woods and water in the great entire USA. But I tell ya what…. I ain’t gonna get beat in mine. I would rather be great right here than mediocre everywhere. Prob sounds sorry but the best times of my life are when folks pull up to a public boat ramp or woodlot and say that (f-bomb) is here.
I love that feeling. Why? Cause I worked my entire life for that edge. I don’t give a flying hoot if that makes me a one trick pony or not. What I get a kick out of is big money bringing it down and getting dusted by a guy without a boat or shooting a stickbow. There is great benefits to hunting where u live! A hunter who spends 150 days a year in the woods is leaps and bounds above those that must travel and only get a couple weekends a year in. Beat em with effort, determination, and guts! One thing money will never be able to buy is time. That’s the equalizer for rednecks who set there life up to hunt/fish. Choose wisely and live with your choices!

Well said, very well said.
I did the travel hunting thing in my younger days, that's past me now. Now I stick too my home state and more and more each year it seems I lesson up the amount of public I hunt to now I'm down to just a few select areas.
But I know those areas inside and out and can get it done there, just about anytime.
You cant get good at killing them, if you dont put the time in to finding them and you dont get good at finding them without being in the woods.
