Is there a new bug out there....  Bowriter, now bsk what the heck...Just go hunt and enjoy...BW doesn't want to hunt anymore bsk wants to run trail camera's...  Don't forget your passion...LOL!!! 
A new "bug" really does exist. I know several who have caught it. It's called the "management" bug and it's highly contagious!
Honestly, management and acquiring knowledge about deer have become far greater passions for me than the actual hunting.

Thats great, and its what makes the world go round! I will have to say im in the "Hunter' group. Nothing makes me happier than easing the string back on an old man that has no idea im anywhere around, until that bee stings him behind the shoulder and he realizes too late that something just isnt right, as his knees get weak and his rear end buckles as he tries to run away!!!

Just consider it a basic flaw in my personality Winchester. For me it's not as interesting that I accomplished something as why and how that opportunity arose!
Like you said, I guess it just takes all kinds...

A knowledge of food sources and terrain and how air currents react, a history of deer movement patterns, and the ability to predict what the deer will do in relation to those factors at given times of the season becomes invaluable. That will make you a successful hunter hunting the general deer population. Mature bucks don't absolutely fall under "general". They didn't reach maturity reacting to conditions the same as their cohorts. Until you realize this and accept it as fact you probably won't consistantly kill or bump heads with mature bucks.
The mature deer hunter observes all surrounding conditions and reacts. The mature deer does as well, including those of the hunter. Unfortunately he's much better at it than us. Each has his own personality and may react differently but what they all have in common is their ability to side step the norm. They may be nocturnal, they may survive on the fringe of the population, they make seek total seclusion or isolation in remote or inaccessable areas. Point is they're different animals. There are alot of great hunters out there adept at killing deer. Many have shifted their mindset towards hunting older bucks without making that shift in how, when, or where they hunt them. You can't continue hunting the same as always and suddenly expect different results.
