[QUOTE="102, post: 4379511, member: 1462"] Also, IMO, there are TWO basic groups of big antlered/bodied, mature buck hunters. 1-those who actually know of and target a particular buck (or more) and pass all other deer until that particular buck shows up for the kill. 2-those who target a particular class (usually antler or body size) of buck and wait for that class of animal to show up. #1 is not NEARLY as difficult to kill on large tracts of private tightly controlled land where pressure is minimal and these "target" bucks occur in huntable numbers. #2 is extremely difficult to kill with regularity in high pressured public land, if for no other reason because of the fact that we seldom know from one hunt to the next where any animal has gone or who else may have killed it. And in high pressure areas there may be several hunters hunting the same deer you are, but don't even know it! Harder still would be to kill either animal 1 or 2 at close quarters with a bow, rather than at long distances with a rifle. [/QUOTE]
