[QUOTE="TN Larry, post: 5020283, member: 2019"] Access is definitely a factor, however, I think the question was what attributes makes someone more successful with a level playing field whether pressured public land or highly managed private ground. If you send 5 hunters into the same area over time, there will be one or two more successful year after year than the others generically speaking. For me, my success went up when learning how to read the terrain and how a buck will travel it. It is also learning when to move in to hunt an area as well. I only hunt some of my better places one to three times a year and stay out of the best places until the time is right. Pre season and in season scouting, laing down shoe leather as I call it, has helped tremendously as well. I do know that post season scouting looking for more places and clues would help me, however, I have too many other hobbies. I have thought about doing some post season scouting, but winter time smallmouth is calling. :) [/QUOTE]
