Ala swamped, you used trail cameras so you weren't 'real hunting'.
I miss bowwriter. He was the greatest troll on TN deer ever. No one could ever hope to achieve his level of greatness.
He had a special way of pushing buttons in people, thereby triggering them without them even realizing they were being played. Ofc, there was always a hint of truth buried behind the button pushing.
I bet if you could have fast forwarded bowwriter to his hunting prime now, he would be advertising trail cameras and food plot seeds to kill big bucks. He was just lucky enough to experience 'real hunting' before all the commercialization.
Oh, and I do agree with bowwriter in that is impossible to pattern mature bucks without cameras or food plots, with a small caveat... in eastern hardwoods, it is true. But out west (or east with the Aug velvet hunt), it is possible to pattern mature bucks on big ag.
But I find it more enjoyable to pattern a mature buck with trail cameras than just blindly stumbling into one by pure luck. To me, the work running trail cameras is the 'real hunting', and killing the buck is just anticlamactically pulling the trigger or releasing the arrow. But thats just me, your mileage may vary.
